Battling the Msg Myth: A Survival Guide and Cook Book [Anglais] [Baguettes de reliure plastique]

Anyone suffer from migraines, post nasal drip, difficulty concentrating, lack of energy, feeling sick often? How about achy joints or vision problems?

My wife bought me this book because I was intermittently suffering from intense migraines only after playing hockey. I couldn't figure out what was triggering them. People were telling me I must have health problems, etc. I heard it all. The doctors I saw couldn't figure out what was causing them either, but recommended keeping a food journal. It turns out that MSG in food (even up to 48 prior) was causing these intense migraines-which leave you miserable for days afterwards.

The information inside this book is amazing and shocking. There are so many names for MSG--the food companies keep trying to hide the truth. Inside this book you will find a complete breakdown and explanation of most of the hidden names for MSG and other dangerous neurotoxins that are in almost everything in our kitchens, at restaurants, etc.

I was very disturbed to find out that the amount of MSG in food has been doubling every ten years-and there is no regulation. In fact, food companies don't even have to list the ingredients, and they can simply put "Natural Flavors" on the labels, when they are hiding the adding of significant amounts of MSG and related chemicals.

Why do they get away with this?

Once again, the FDA apparently seems to have been bought. It is estimated that 40% of the US population is sensitive to MSG-so why is it in all of our food? Because food companies make more money when their products taste better. And thank the lobbyists too-they get rich with their bribery and propaganda-lying to the population-saying that MSG, and aspartame are safe.

The problem with this book is that it will expose the danger in your diets. If you are sensitive to MSG (and most people are) and other related neurotoxins that your friendly food companies pump into their products, you will find that almost all the food in your kitchen contains unsafe chemicals that they shouldn't.

Okay, so maybe you knew "bad stuff" was in soy sauce and ALL ketchup-except organic, most canned soups, etc.; but did you know it was also in your ice cream (carrageenan), dairy products-cheeses, cereals, sprayed on fruits and vegetables, most all snacks-look for "hydrolyzed proteins" and "protein isolates?" It sucks, but it's true.

This book has changed our lives for the better-I bought this book for everyone in our family.

Thanks to the author for such a great reference book.

Deb Anglesey has written the best coping guide for dealing with the dramatic diet changes one must make if they are sensitive to MSG. I was a food industry scientist, and I feel that this book is extremely important. Monosodium glutamate is hidden in so many foods, and since many people react to it with asthma, and other serious medical conditions, it is crucial to find where it is hidden. Deb Anglesey helps you not only find where it is and eliminate it, she has great ideas on what you CAN eat.

As the mother of a child that displays symptoms of ADD when he is exposed to foods containing MSG, I can tell you that this book is a life-saver. Along with fabulous recipes, there's a bounty of information on MSG, sulfites, Aspartame and other food additives. I use this book daily.
