in free form in many foods, such as cheeses, grape juice, soy
sauce, and tomatoes. As such, its flavor-enhancing (and any
neurological) effect is _exactly_ the same as MSG added to food:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamic_acid_%28flavor%29#Concentration_in_foods
So the use in the article below of words like "coffin",
"deadly", "neurotoxic", "poison", "eradicates your mind and
health", "kills", "murderous", "venom", and the masterpiece:
"debased evil minds, wicked, devoid of conscience, malignant,
twisted, perverse and demonic, that intentionally loose dread
poisons on humanity with full knowledge of the agony, suffering,
poverty, ruined lives, foreclosed futures, desolation and death
they inevitably produce. Is there a name for such foul criminal
scum? I give you Joseph Mengele, the Nazi Angle of Death who
hideously tortured thousands of screaming victims..."
is utterly ridiculous in respect to MSG, which, again, is found
in free form naturally in many foods.
MSG will cause brain damage if _injected_ into baby mice.
So, don't shoot it up. Also, aspartame _is_ toxic (unlike MSG).
Furthermore, this statement, in the context of an article on MSG,
is very deceptive:
>For example disorders such as strokes, brain injury, hypoglycemic
>brain damage, seizures, migraine headaches, hypoxic brain damage, and
>even AIDS dementia have been linked to excitotoxin damage."
The implication is that eating MSG will cause these disorders,
but that is not true. The fact is that if you have a stroke
or other brain injury, then the damage to the brain is partly
caused by excitotoxicity due to an abnormal buildup of glutamate.
(Glutamate is normally found in the brain and is vital to brain
function.)
In other words, a stroke can cause a buildup of glutamate, which
can damage neurons by excitotoxicity. But eating glutamate
(in the amounts occurring naturally in food or added as MSG)
will _not_ cause a stroke.
Finally, given that Chinese people eat a lot of soy sauce and
other fermented soy products, which contain large amounts of MSG
(which is why they enhance flavor), plus these facts:
o China has one of the oldest civilizations on Earth.
o On average Chinese people score higher on IQ tests than
Caucasians.
o Most computer equipment -- including the computer you're
using right now -- is manufactured in China.
We can conclude that the characterization of MSG as a deadly
brain-killing poison is bullshit.
N.B. -- I do _not_ endorse any advertising that may be added
to the bottom of this message.

>Novel nutrition-based strategies might help people to improve the quality
>and amount of food they eat while maintaining the emotional and
>pleasurable qualities of eating. Foods or food ingredients that enhance
>these qualities of eating might also reduce the drive or motivation to
>eat, particularly energy dense foods. MSG has long been known to enhance
>the savory quality of foods and promote a positive emotional response
>(pleasantness) of eating. Regularly including MSG or foods naturally high
>in glutamate may help people to improve the quality and amount of their
>food intake, yet maintain the emotional and pleasurable qualities of
>eating.

>The research is expected to add to the growing base of science around
>umami, widely accepted as the fifth basic taste in addition to sweet,
>sour, salty and bitter. Glutamate, an amino acid naturally found in many
>common foods such as tomatoes, cheese, and cured ham, is considered the
>purest form of umami. Recent research has identified umami receptors on
>the tongue. Providing a savory taste of its own, umami also enhances and
>balances the sensory experience of other tastes. MSG, the sodium salt of
>glutamate, improves the palatability of foods and has been widely used as
>a flavor enhancer for more than a century, initially in Asia and later
>globally. Significant research documents the potential value of MSG as an
>aid in reducing dietary sodium.

>Given the global obesity epidemic and the role of diet as part of the
>solution, research initiatives such as this are increasingly important for
>informing and creating solutions that will improve public health.

>"The Western Human Nutrition Research Center's expertise in nutrition and
>the regulation of food intake and metabolism, combined with Ajinomoto's
>demonstrated knowledge and leadership related to umami and MSG, create a
>powerful partnership as we seek a better understanding of how to improve
>eating behaviors and human health" said Masatoshi Ito, President and CEO,
>Ajinomoto Company.

>The trial is expected to be completed in the next two years.
