Somewhere in the millions of mystery stories that have been written, you\u2019ll come across the words \u201cIf you want to catch a criminal you have to learn to think like a criminal,\u201d which would be good advice for dealing with certain people in the glutamate industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought of those words when I read a post about the dangers of MSG that didn\u2019t sit quite right with me, and I thought of them again when a new webpage surfaced. It would be a perfect ploy for the \u201cGlutes\u201d to set up people as anti-MSG activists, get them quite a bit of publicity, and, when needed, have those people \u201cblow the whistle\u201d and declare that that they had been mistaken when they wrote or spoke of the dangers of MSG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That would be similar to quoting words taken out of context and using that to smear the writer. Directors of the Truth in Labeling Campaign have, in the past, been set-up for that purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A bit different but clearly designed for the same purpose would have been the scheme to discredit the work of Dr. David Allen. In setting up the fail-safe agenda of the glutamate industry for the glutamate industry, the FDA had referred to the research of Dr. David Allen which identified 3.0 grams MSG as an asthma trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the 3-gram figure had been established as the <\/strong>amount that would cause an MSG reaction, the research reported by David Allen would be discredited \u2013 just in case someone should later refer to the fact that Allen had also found that .5 grams of MSG could also cause a reaction. The work of discrediting Dr. Allen was left to Drs. Simon and Stevenson or Scripps Clinic, LaJolla, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Setting up someone as an anti-MSG activist ready to \u201cblow the whistle\u201d could certainly be in the works, and it would not surprise me. The campaigns, propaganda, clear-cut lies and media exploits I\u2019ve already seen lead me to believe that at this point, anything is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It Wasn\u2019t Alzheimer\u2019s, It Was MSG.<\/em> (2013) A.
