Indian cuisine is ancient and based on a deep medical/scientific understanding of the effect of foods and spices on the body - not only is that garam masala tasty and do an awesome job flavoring a dish - it is also good for the body! (I am sure I am not telling you anything new there :-) In the US and likely in India, MSG is hidden by many different names and is pumped into foods like crazy to cover over the fact that people are eating tasteless non-foods like doritos chips and other junk food. I am a scientist and I find the MSG name landscape daunting. I am convinced that only a food chemist in the food industry can definitively identify and avoid MSG and other dangerous food additives. We try to never eat prepackaged foods and make everything from scratch. We also raise our own chickens for eggs and meat and our own dairy goats more milk/cheese/yogurt, etc and we grow veggies in the winter months - all so that our food is not exposed to these nasty chemicals - chemicals added to cover poor ingredients or to make the food easy to handle during the manufacturing process and not to add anything to the consumer's nutrition. Its a crazy industrial world out there isnt it! Thanks for your comment.. Nika AAJ,

I know a kid who start eating instant noodles every alternate days after he turned two. his mother used to feed him with it as he used to refuse to eat other things. He fell sick badly with respiratory infections and now a days he has acidity very often. i've seen him vomiting many a times after eating instant noodles or pasta. I am sure it also affects the digestive system very badly especially if consumed in such industrial amounts daily. In India, we get lot of instant mixes, you've just heat, add veg/meat to it and the curry is ready. but we use ground spices too to add taste to our food, called as garam masala. I feel that's better as we atleast know that we aren't consuming any MSG. Thanks for the information. Hello,

Our daughter has epilepsy and is in the 5% tile whose system will not accept the meds. After much research my hubby and I decided to follow the plan...it has worked wonders!!!! No this is not a cure all, and yes it is a LOT of trial and error, but not having to have her brain operated on to stop the seizures has been nothing less than a miracle!!! This book explains the brain connection to differing foods and gives guidance to triggers...every persons triggers can be different. I wish the best for you and your daughter! Keep persevering, you are doing awesome by educating her, thank you for your post~ Hi Donna,

We have a little girl with epilepsy, and I have been doing my best to purge our home of anything with msg!!! the only thing I found left was canned tomatoes!!!! I even buy the organic ones...but little did I know, citric acid was lying in there!!! So frustrating and disheartening, but thankful that my eyes are being opened to the truth more and more each day!!! "What God builds, let man not destroy!!!"

I did not realize until recently the effect MSG has on the brain and body. When I have taken time to do a cleanse and eat properly, I have noticed that I stop eating when I'm full. Once I go back to eating some junk food and prepared foods, I notice I keep on eating past the point of being full. I really appreciate learning all the synonyms/euphemisms for MSG. I do read food labels and value having this knowledge to make better choices for myself and my family. Please accept my sincere thanks and gratitude. For those who are interested, here is link to a documentary you can see on YouTube which speaks about the effects of MSG and much more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvzDHGLEUyw&feature=watch-now-button&wide=1 Great post!
