Beware ‘Umami’; cook at home: Experts (October 26th, 2023) HERE

MSG, commonly found in fast food, creates a fifth taste called Umami which makes people crave fast food more. Doctors advise against eating food with MSG...
 
“An ingredient in fast food called MSG (Monosodium glutamate), commonly called aginomoto, which contains an excitatory neurotransmitter, makes you eat fast food often. It actually develops a different/fifth taste called Umami for you, which actually is not beneficial for your body,” said Prof NS Verma, HoD, physiology, KGMU, and organising chairman of the national conference of physiology at a press conference on Thursday. The three-day conference begins on Friday.  

“The habit of eating food under the influence of an excitatory neurotransmitter can make people ill,” said Prof Manish Bajpai, the organising secretary of the conference.

“Food with MSG should be a big no for all but unfortunately this is not happening,” said Prof Verma...

As for her current initiative, Know MSG, using that voice, for decades the “NO MSG” symbol turned people away from monosodium glutamate (MSG), but in reality it’s a plant-based seasoning that combines sodium with glutamate, an amino acid in nature and one that provides umami, a savory taste. It’s verified safe by the Food and Drug Administration. Part of her role also involves communications and particularly, educating the public on understanding MSG.

... MORE PHARMACEUTICAL SILVER TONGUED LIES - WHY IS A KNOWN NEUROTOXIC CHEMICAL FLAVOUR ENHANCER (MSG) IN VACCINES? 

An extract from a propaganda post below:

...Keeping the vaccine stable

Vaccines also must be stabilised to help maintain the effectiveness of the vaccine in case it is exposed to heat, light or moisture, or if it experiences changes in acidity. Vaccine makers use stabilisers such as sucrose, sorbitol, gelatin and monosodium glutamate (MSG).

All are food ingredients found in almost every kitchen. Sucrose and sorbitol are sugars; gelatin, derived from collagen, is used in Jell-O and gummy bears; monosodium glutamate adds flavour to many dishes. And the amount of stabiliser found in flu vaccines is very small. The average person consumes much more of these ingredients per day through normal food consumption. For example, the amount of sugar and gelatin in a vaccine dose is far less than that found in a single gummy bear. And for those with gelatin allergies, a flu vaccine without it is easy to find...

MSG is a neurotoxic poison, this is worrying news indeed that MSG might be used to improve anti-cancer chemotherapy; especially as the blood brain barrier of those who are sick is already compromised allowing MSG to potentially cause neural lesions and/or to disrupt the endocrine system in the body.

Food vendors’ unsafe practices putting buyers at risk of liver, kidney diseases

Full report here August 30th - (Agungi, Lekki area of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria

"...Adu further described the health implications of the practices on the body as harmful to health leading to liver and kidney issues.

He said, “Kidney and liver problems and several types of cancers are a result of the excessive use of monosodium glutamate. People don’t measure the quantity but are only interested in making the food delicious. People need to be aware of it. Too much salt is also harmful and that is usually the cause of hypertension, liver disorder and even cancer.

“When the liver is over-laboured, it breaks down. The liver is usually the first point of call. And because the effect is usually not immediate, the body continues to store the toxins in the body, and over time, it begins to break them.

“Once the liver is affected, soon the kidney will break down because the two of them work hand-in-hand. This is one of the major reasons why liver and kidney transplant is on the increase. You will realise that one person needs a liver today and another needs a kidney and other things. This is a major cause although we haven’t come out to state this categorically it is a major link.”
“The major organ that suffers these things is the liver. It’s the metabolism for regulating everything that gets into the body..."

ANIMAL TESTING

Itasca, Ill. – This morning, PETA announced its recent purchase of stock in Japanese conglomerate Ajinomoto Co., Inc.—the world’s largest manufacturer of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and owner of packaged frozen-food brands Tai Pei, Ling Ling, and José Olé—in order to present a resolution at its 2021 annual general meeting. The group will urge shareholders to end the company’s cruel and deadly tests, in which thousands of dogs and other animals have been used in order to make dubious health claims for marketing its food products and ingredients.
