Allerlei: World is full of stimuli and hedonism/food has turned from a basic essential product into an experience of senses delight, and there is a constant need to increase the stimulus in order to improve and maximize the feeling. Similarly to the consumer culture in which people consume objects that they do not need, MSG lacks nutritional value and does not embody any essential contribution to the product itself. Even more, MSG's role in increasing the stimulus is crucial. Since except of being an additional flavor which constitutes a new culinary record (imagine that we could suddenly see an additional color to the existing spectrum), it also enhances the taste and stimulates the senses. Through MSG, the food industry creates a manipulation that burdens the mind with additional stimulus and we cannot yet evaluate the price we will pay for it. It is the most common taste enhancer worldwide nowadays, and is also widespread in any component found in animals and vegetation. All over the world people have access to it. That is why we have decided to choose MSG as the proving material.

The Umami Taste

Umami is a proposed addition to the currently accepted four basic tastes. The umami taste is felt in the presence of monosodium glutamate (sodium salt of glutamic acid) on the tongue. Some claim that umami is the combination of the other four tastes, and others claim that it is a separate, independent taste which is difficult to define. The umami taste provides the food with a rich, piquant and "meaty" feel.

MSG's popularity worldwide

most common taste enhancer in the world, after salt and pepper.improves the taste up to 8x the original taste. Its worldwide consumption is approximately 1.1 million tones a year.

added to different compounds are added to food, inserted into food under different unrecognizable names.

can be found in vaccines and blood transfusions. in vitamins or food supplements containing gelatin.

Chinese Restaurant Syndrome: chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, numbness of the neck. headaches, blushing, sweating, tightness or swelling in the chest, numbness or a burning sensation in the mouth or around it, chest pain, throat swelling, palpitations and shortness of breath, strong thirst, cold sweat, nausea, a burning sensation of the skin, confusion, anxiety attacks, weakness, rapid pulse, dizziness and more.

Glutamic acid is one of the 20 amino - acids common in nature/is most important. The human body is capable of producing it. This amino - acid serves as a brain neurotransmitter (source of GABA).

Monosodium glutamate is not glutamic acid.

MSG and the brain Excitotoxicity

Natural glutamate contains 2 amino - acids: glutamic acid and glutamine binding to protein molecules. In the body the molecules are slowly broken into particles and glutamate is produced gradually so it can be absorbed naturally. Industrial glutamate contains significantly higher quantities of glutamate than those existing in foods, and it does not bind to protein molecules, therefore it is a free amino - acid and is absorbed in the body in a significantly faster pace than natural glutamate.

Glutemic acid belongs to a group of chemicals known as excitotoxins. Excitotoxicity is a process in which brain neurons are damaged and destroyed due to over - activity of certain receptors. In an excessive daily intake of glutamate, as happens when the body digests MSG, these amino - acids cross the blood brain barrier and excite the neurons of brain cells to a point of absolute exhaustion. Then those brain neurons die. Can be a cause excitotoxins play a major role in a whole group of degenerative brain diseases in adults (the elderly: Alzheimer/Parkinson/Huntington/ALS). More diseases of the nervous system being linked to excitotoxin build - up in the brain (strokes/hypoxic brain injury/hypoglycemic brain damage/seizures/migraine headaches/hypoxic brain damage/ADHS/ADD).

Furthermore, he claims that the 'neuron system' within the hypothalamus appears to use glutamate as a neurotransmitter. The hypothalamus regulates growth/onset of puberty/most of the endocrine glands/appetite/sleep cycles/biological clock. When MSG feed in doses similar to those found in human diets, it destroys hypothalamic neurons. Experiments demonstrated that MSG could cause the hypothalamus to secrete excessive amounts of a reproductive hormone (luteinizing hormone) which is associated with an early onset of puberty.

Congenital deficiencies (when the pregnant woman consumes MSG)

The common argument for supporting the use of MSG is that it is a natural component, found in almost any living thing and vegetation (human body) and that is why using it in reasonable!? quantities in food is considered to be safe.
