A second Citizen Petition has been filed by Adrienne Samuels, PhD., requesting that all ingredients containing MSG\u2019s excitotoxic \u2013 brain damaging \u2013 glutamate be placed alongside MSG on the FDA\u2019s \u201cAdded Chemical Hazards\u201d in Food list.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once upon a time in 1991, in anticipation of a network expose of MSG toxicity, the Wall Street Journal <\/em>ran the headline, \u201cA 60 Minutes attack on MSG would be felt throughout the $280 billion-a-year food industry.\u201d Now, thirty years later the $280 billion-a-year food industry is the $5,943.8 billion a year food industry. Those who manufacture MSG now control the USDA, the FDA, and the major U.S. media, and no attack on MSG will likely be felt anywhere. I\u2019d be thrilled (and amazed) if these petitions were mentioned in the Wall Street Journal<\/em>, much less appeared in a Wall Street Journal<\/em> headline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s story is about the campaign to shine light on the fact that manufactured free glutamate (MfG) is toxic, and to expose the fact that the FDA says it\u2019s safe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January, Adrienne\u2019s first Citizen Petition (FDA-2021-P-0035), was filed with the FDA, requesting that MSG be stripped of its GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status. Today, March 1st, a second Citizen Petition has been filed with the FDA requesting that the names of ingredients containing MfG be added to the FDA\u2019s list of chemical hazards added to food. MSG is already on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no lack of information about the hazards posed by MSG and the excitotoxic glutamate found in flavor enhancers and protein substitutes. And there\u2019s no lack of information about the falsehood-filled propaganda circulated widely by the glutamate industry or the way in which they\u2019ve rigged the studies that they claim \u201cprove\u201d MSG is \u201csafe.\u201d Our website and blog at www.truthinlabeling.org <\/a>provide access to decades of scientific research, personal experience, analyses of what glutamate industry operatives call \u201cresearch,\u201d and investigation into the effects of monosodium glutamate and similar additives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And not least of all, with these petitions you have been given the opportunity to share with the world your experiences with MSG and your knowledge of its toxic potential. https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/document\/FDA-2021-P-0035-0001<\/a> will get you to the place you want to go to tell your story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have questions or comments, we\u2019d love to hear from you. If you have hints for others on how to avoid exposure to MfG, send them along, too, and we\u2019ll put them up on <\/em>Facebook<\/em><\/a>.
