Have you caught on yet? Since the world is beginning to catch on to the fact that monosodium glutamate (MSG) causes brain damage along with migraine headaches, asthma, seizures and more, and neuroscientists are looking at the role it plays in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS, MS, autism, and depression, its producer Ajinomoto is busy (you might say shrewdly) referring to it by the pleasant-sounding name umami, while keeping its poisonous properties intact.
Here’s the latest “MSG-is-safe” advertisement, disguised as an article, received by the Truth in Labeling Campaign: https://www.popsci.com/science/umami-flavor/
If you have questions or comments, we’d love to hear from you. If you have hints for others on how to avoid exposure to MfG, send them along, too, and we’ll put them up on Facebook. Or you can reach us at questionsaboutmsg@gmail.com and follow us on Twitter @truthlabeling.
