Imagine that–a professor from a land far away finds a secret spice; a spice that makes every food tastes better.
He sells his patent, and soon enough, people around the world enjoy discovering new flavors in food.
They say the appetite comes with the food in this story that’s exactly what happened. And with the food came obesity and minor illnesses that developed to major ones, and people began to realize that this special spice is the cause of the obesity pandemic, and related to high Cholesterol levels, Asthma, Headaches, ADHD and much more.
The truth is that this is not a made-up story.
The sad thing is, this true story doesn’t have a happy ending.
102 years ago Kikunae Ikeda a Japanese professor at the Tokyo Imperial University managed to identify the umami component in kelp. Within a year, he had succeeded in isolating, purifying, and identifying the principal component of umami (the fifth flavour) and quickly obtained a production patent. This product is called MSG Monosodium glutamate.
MSG is a flavour enhancer that is naturally occurring in some foods, such as cheese. It is also added to many foods. Symptoms attributed to MSG include pressure on the head, seizures, chest pains, headache, nausea, burning sensations, and tightness of the face.
More about MSG you can find here.

MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their products. It makes people choose their product over others, and makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn't added.
Browsing the products variety in our local supermarkets is a frustrating task, there’s MSG almost in every product!
I see kids in school eating shocking amounts of food colouring and food additives and it makes me very angry. Our kids are our future. We have so many good and healthy foods, so many better options, but we are encouraged to consume fast, easy, tempting, poisonous food.
Can we control our MSG intake? It’s not going to be easy. MSG is very well hidden

Standard 1.2.4 of the Australia and New Zealand Food Standards Code requires the presence of MSG as a food additive to be labeled. The label must bear the food additive class name (e.g. flavour enhancer), followed by either the name of the food additive, MSG, or its International Numbering System (INS) number, 621.
The problem is MSG has lots of “relatives” with lots of different names.
If you are one of the few who can still believe that MSG is good for us see for yourself -
Type in the words 'MSG Obese' and read few of many medical studies that appear.

So am I!
And because I try to protect my family and patients,
I made the "decoder for safe shopping".
the decoder is a card (credit card size), that has lists
of number codes for food additives that are not good for
your health. If you are not sure about a certain ingredient,
on the food label, just use the decoder.
Contact me and ask me about the decoder.
