An individual can help prevent premature death by avoiding eating foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is found in processed meats, canned foods, soups, Chinese food, and numerous others as a flavor enhancement. It is a highly processed and altered form of a naturally occurring amino acid the body needs called glutamate. MSG is known to be highly toxic to cells in the body, producing adverse symptoms such as flushing, facial pressure, tingling sensations, intense thirst, nausea, headaches, sweating, heart palpitations, chest pain, and weakness. This ingredient is especially toxic to the cells in the brain, resulting in lesions that can cause neurological issues.

MSG has been labeled as an excitotoxin or a substance that excites the cells until they become extensively damaged or destroyed. It does this by promoting the rapid-fire of nerve impulses, resulting in tissue damage in vital parts of the brain. MSG has been proven to be a trigger for Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, learning disabilities, among many others.
