Brain damage, gross obesity, infertility, and migraine headache. MSG causes them all.

Don’t let your concern about such things as skin rash, migraine headaches, and heart irregularities caused by monosodium glutamate (MSG) distract you from the fact that MSG kills brain cells (that don’t repair themselves) and in turn disrupts the endocrine system.

You might say that just about everyone has heard of MSG-migraines. Every headache clinic that we know of lists MSG as a headache trigger. And the Glutes either ignore the relationship entirely or simply say it isn’t so.

If pushed to the wall, industry always falls back on its old standby called Chinese Restaurant Syndrome, which erroneously implies that MSG-reactions are limited to those reported by Dr. Ho Man Kwok in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1968.

You’ll never hear the Glutes talking about MSG-induced brain damage, MSG-induced obesity, or MSG-induced infertility. If you read the medical literature, you’ll find studies of MSG-induced brain damage, MSG-induced retinal degeneration, MSG-induced obesity, and MSG-induced infertility going back over 60 years to research from Lucas and Newhouse in 1957. And you won’t hear about that from the major media outlets (and even the not-so-major ones). Ever since 60 Minutes aired a segment on MSG in 1991, no media outlet has even suggested that MSG might be toxic.

Data suppression could be considered an art form – one the Glutes have been mastering for decades. Want to know how that works? You’ll find the details in the published, peer-reviewed article The Toxicity/Safety of Processed Free Glutamic Acid (MSG): A Study in Suppression of Information.

Infertility and MSG

This study was done in 2020 to try and discover if rats, who had been given doses of MSG for the purpose of lowering testosterone levels and causing “toxicity in testicular tissue,” could be treated with zinc oxide nanoparticles and green tea. The group treated with zinc oxide nanoparticles/green tea were “significantly” protected against MSG damage to the testis.

From the study: “The MSG treatment in the adult male rats reduced testosterone levels and disrupted testicular histology…”

Good to know, but wouldn’t it be better to avoid MSG ingestion in the first place than to search out an antidote?

For men only

As a man you probably don’t think about obesity being caused by pregnant women eating quantities of free glutamate in processed food.  But think again.  Because that same free glutamate ingested by pregnant women also lies at the root of the world’s infertility crisis.

True, infertility has many causes.  Failure to eat a healthy diet is one of them.  Breathing in toxic chemicals is another.  An accident could be the third.  But when a pregnant woman delivers more glutamate to her child during pregnancy then needed for normal development, the Jekyll and Hyde amino acid L-glutamate will destroy the part of the brain that was designed to oversee reproductive function.

Let me save you the trouble of trying to disprove this claim.  There are no data with which you can do that, first, because to date no one other than myself has considered that glutamate-induced brain damage plays a role in both the obesity epidemic and the infertility crisis.  Second, studies that allege to have demonstrated that monosodium glutamate is “safe” are flawed to the point of being fraudulent — as in using excitotoxic amino acids, which produce adverse reactions identical to those caused by MSG, in placebos.  It is the U.S. producer of the flavor-enhancer monosodium glutamate, not neuroscientists interested in the role of free glutamate in brain function, that have produced those badly flawed studies.

Should you have interest in reviewing data on the subject you’ll find it summarized in “Getting to the root of obesity”and spelled out in detail in “Glutamic acid: the Jekyll and Hyde molecule behind the obesity epidemic.”

And don’t be fooled by the titles of those papers.  Both infertility and obesity are caused by glutamate-induced brain damage done to the vulnerable brains of fetuses and newborns.   The mechanisms are identical.
