The information on msgtruth.org is the culmination of the important independent research regarding the amino-acid based food additives, Monosodium Glutamate and Aspartame.
MSGTruth.org was created in 2002 by former food process engineer and food scientist, Carol Hoernlein, to help the public make sense of the latest independent scientific information regarding monosodium glutamate and aspartame. We don't represent the food industry or the sellers of health supplements. Our mission is to give you important information about MSG and aspartame not tainted by corporate interests.
We would like to thank msgmyth.com, Debby Anglesey, and all the bloggers at the discussion board there since 2000, who have contributed greatly to the expanded knowledge about MSG and aspartame for the past 8 years and who served as the initial very powerful inspiration for the creation of MSGTruth in February of 2002. Thank you!
We'd also like to thank Joyce Riley of The Power Hour for interviewing Carol in October, and Mike Adams of Natural News for interviewing Carol in June. They both work tirelessly to get information to the public that is timely and incredibly important.

Diseases which may be exacerbated by MSG, are autism and any disease which is treated with the following commonly prescribed glutamate BLOCKERS - NBQX, Haloperidal, Baclofen, Riluzole, Tramadol, Tizanodine, Ibuprofen, Topiramate, Lamotragine, Memantine, Ketamine, and Lithium, as well as Vitamin B12, Vitamin E and Vitamin C.
Diseases which may be caused by MSG are obesity, Type II diabetes, and high blood pressure. In studies, HEALTHY mice were made obese and leptin resistant, and AMPK was activated. Animal studies also showed that glutamate constricts blood vessels. It acts as a calcium channel OPENER, and increased appetite in healthy animals by 40% by acting on the hypothalamus. Those taking calcium channel blockers may be interested in knowing that MSG COUNTERACTS the most often prescribed medications for high blood pressure - calcium channel blockers.
Consequently, if you think you are immune from the effects of MSG because you don't have the autism genes, or the Alzheimer's genes, or high blood pressure, note that free glutamic acid acts on the pancreas to secrete insulin and acts to stimulate hunger by targeting the amygdala and hypothalamus and creates valium-like GABA in otherwise HEALTHY folks.

Hoernlein's book - "Virtual Food" about the
processed-food industry is still in the works. So much new information
has been coming out this year regarding autism and glutamate, Carol will be
including that as well. After graduating
Rutgers with degrees in Food Science and Agricultural (Bio-Resource) Engineering,
she worked in Research and Development at major global companies
including American Home Products, Reckitt and Colman, Thomas J. Lipton, and
M&M/Mars but quit due to a crisis of conscience when she discovered just
how harmful food additives could be.
