MSG – Monosodium glutamate and other forms of neurotoxic free glutamate – this toxic flavor enhancer is a hidden ingredient in many products, designed to enhance the flavor of food. This might be alright if it wasn’t an excitotoxin – a substance that causes your brain’s neurons to fire, which when present in excessive amounts, can over-stimulate neurons, even to the point of destroying them. Many people experience painful migraines after consuming MSG -a sure sign that something is wrong!
