-Caveat Lector- http://freeweb.digiweb.com/science_fiction/ThePiedPiper/chem.htm This is towards the end of the page. MSG this section has links and a short summary For those of you that might consider this weighty, I am back to doing my web page and will add it to my site and then (most times just) post the URL in the future. I need to find where the FDA has approved the spraying of MSG on crops, someone sent that to me months ago and I have upgraded since that time. Knowing this and putting together with the following that I am compiling you will see more problems, with children as well. SPECULATION: Aspartame was approved during the Regan administration, more things seem to have been added during the Bush administration, and Clinton has allowed even more. Instead of hearing about MSG like we used to do - it and more things like Canola are being approved every day. Let me add this for educators - would be hard to educate a child even with Ritalin or some other help is they are getting this in their food - expressly the school lunches, and when I can find Canola oil as a ingredient in a major brand of frozen crinkle cut potatoes, Yes I do believe it and MSG will be in school lunches. Will add this to my site and redo my site soon. They think that they can just watch what they eat and that this might blow over. That is not the case, and I am not going into dramatics. This is not complete, I have to take time to learn other things too - for those of you that are skeptical, please check these out. Will be following through by checking out how these things (proteins expressly) work through Mitochondria and Lysosomes. =========Summary of some articles ========== (1) MSG and Aspartame Summary done on http://www.annapolis.net/members/holland/food.txt Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) derived from Glutamic acid, which is an excitotoxic amino acid that has been known to excite, brain cells sometimes to the point of killing them. MSG is a neurotropic drug (neurotropic means that it effects the nervous system) and when it effects a person the effects may not show up for up to 48 hours. Glutamic acid (an amino acid), and one of its salts is glutamate. Glutamate is one of the substances that make up protein. Different proteins are made up of different amino acids. MSG is manufactured through a process of protein hydrolysis. When glutamate is separated from protein and the product has 99% free glutamate then it is called "monosodium glutamate." When Protein Hydrolysate has less than 99% free glutamate, usually within the range of 8 to 40 per cent, then the product might have one of these names - "sodium caseinate," "calcium caseinate," "autolyzed yeast," "textured protein," "yeast food," "hydrolyzed vegetable protein," and "hydrolyzed protein." Hydrolyzed Protein (itself) may be in products under names like "flavoring" or "natural flavoring." If you are concerned about MSG sensitivity, or would like to help the Truth in Labeling Campaingn, (a nonprofit corporation), write Jack Samuels, Truth in Labeling Campaign, P.P.

Bart and Apryll M. Stalcup Electronic collection: A19792007 RN: A19792007 Glutamate a free amino acid or as a constituent in proteins. Aspartame - "Although most of the neurologic concerns associated with aspartame have centered on phenylalanine, one of the amino acids that comprise the dipeptide, it should be noted that aspartate, the other amino acid in the dipeptide, and glutamate bind to many of the same receptor sites in vivo, are subject to many of the same transport mechanisms, and undergo interconversion via aspartate aminotransferase." "It is also interesting to note that the incidence of febril seizures in young children is almost five times higher in Japan, where MSG is more commonly used as an additive, than it is in the United States." This report has a long list of References. =============================== Another assult on our neurotransmitters?
