| What are Some Common Reactions to MSG? |
 |
|
There are many things that should be considered with MSG and the extreme sensitivity. There are many things that are considered to be some different types of problems that have been considered through chemical, food, drug, cosmetic, fertilizer, and pesticides have all been considered to be problematic. Also the industry has not been restricted in its use of MSG so therefore there are many problems that are considered to be reactions to MSG that could be problematic for many. Even though these industries have promoted that these pollutants which are found in foods, drugs, cosmetics, pesticides, and fertilizers are not pollutants or carcinogens. However there are many reasons to believe that they are. Even though MSG is being linked to a number of problems and a number of things that are considered to be understood there is no standard for following up with this chemical in our foods.
There is no way to be able to identify whether MSG is present in foods or not. There is also no way to measure the amount of MSG in cosmetics, drugs, and/or dietary supplements. Since there is no way of measuring the levels of MSG in these consumer products then when a consumer has a reaction to MSG they might not know what they are having a reaction to or a problem with. Further their reaction might be treated in other ways if they are unsure as to why they are having the reaction. Therefore the consumer might not even realize that there has been MSG that they have come into contact with.
There are reactions that are from the MSG are that these are not allergic reactions but rather that it is a reaction to a toxin which is what the person would be allergic to. There are few ways to understand whether or not a person is allergic to MSG. Basically the person would have to be monitored and watched for as long as 48 hours after having been exposed to MSG in some form. Another way to monitor if someone has a sensitivity or allergy to the toxin that is in MSG is to have them keep a journal of all food, cosmetics, drugs and supplements that they have used and any reactions that they have had to MSG. Then by listing any reactions that they are having which might be symptoms of MSG they are able to identify whether or not they are having an MSG adverse reaction.
The most reported reaction to MSG is the migraine headache. This migraine headache is really of special interest in some ways as it has never been mentioned by the FDA or in any of the industry materials. However there is no denying this and there are a number of different things that are to be considered when migraines are concerned. There are some other reactions like feeling sick and not having any energy to name a few. Further there can be other areas that are considered and thought about. So it might be necessary for one to know where there is MSG hidden in foods and other items.
