In January Food Navigator-USA ran the story \u201cAjinomoto defends MSG as nonprofit petitions FDA to rescind its GRAS status.\u201d<\/a> And Ajinomoto\u2019s Tia Rains fired back with a classic piece of glutamate-industry propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not what she said in the piece that\u2019s so interesting, because it\u2019s classic industry talk. What is interesting is the fact that Ajinomoto responded at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 50+ years, the Glutes have pretty much ignored criticism from those who have maintained that MSG is toxic. It would appear that they\u2019ve used this strategy to keep questions of glutamate sensitivity out of the media \u2013 just letting any question of harm done by MSG die a slow, quiet death. And this strategy, along with rigging the research they\u2019ve presented to the FDA as evidence of MSG\u2019s safety, has been incredibly effective, for this excitotoxic, brain damaging food additive is still being advertised as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why the change in strategy? Or did Tia Rains make a terrible mistake. Terrible enough to get her fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
