Beware of Hidden Monosodium Glutamate

Monosodium glutamate is a potent excitotoxin. It is not always listed by name on food packages where it appears in stealth-form. Dr. Leonard Coldwell introduces the unsuspecting public to this dangerous food-additive in his newsletter.

Dr. Thomas S. Lee at Naturodoc cites some sources of MSG that are frequent ingredients in edible products.
