Glutamate-industry propaganda is based on industry\u2019s Six Big Fat Lies; on extensive repetition of praise for monosodium glutamate; on disparagement of people who question the safety of monosodium glutamate \u2013 all bound up in beautifully wrapped consumer-friendly rhetoric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\u00a0\u201cfacts\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0found in glutamate-industry propaganda come from their Six Big Fat Lies. Use of a particular lie depends on the point that industry is attempting to make, and the audience it\u2019s addressing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE SIX BIG FAT LIES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) The glutamate contained in MSG is identical to the glutamate in the human body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2) MSG is very well researched and found to be safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3) It must be safe since the FDA has said so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4) MSG has been used for over a century without adverse reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5) MSG is naturally made, similar to yogurt, vinegar and wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6) Monosodium glutamate occurs naturally in food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to know the truth?
