I want to talk about MSG monosodium

glutamate versus glutamate because

sometimes you hear glutamate and you

think wow it’s not going to turn into

MSG is that bad I’ve done videos on

talking about cancer consuming glutamate

glutamate is an amino acid cancer can

live on glucose or glutamate glutamate

doesn’t cause cancer but if you have

cancer cancer cells could live on

glutamate this is why we recommend

intermón fasting for those people that

have cancer but if you don’t have cancer

you don’t have to worry about it simply

because every single food that you eat

has glutamate okay it’s an amino acid

like I said and the body actually has

about four point four pounds of

glutamate that makes up its tissue so

it’s part of our food supply it’s part

of our body now in 1909 there’s a patent

at MSG and they call it accent they

still sell it now and it’s a flavor

enhancer and basically the problem with

them is G is that it tricks your taste

buds in making the food taste better

than it really is and it gives you that

savory sensation I remember living in

San Diego with my wife Karen this is

before we were into nutrition or he knew

anything about nutrition we would go to

this restaurant and we would love to

consume this hot and sour soup okay it

was loaded with msg it tastes so good

but after we would consume it I noticed

my hands would be so swollen and puffy I

had so much flu to attention because

you’re talking about

monosodium glutamate and then I noticed

my blood sugar is kind of crash after as

well and then about hour later I was

starving for more of it so the problem

with MSG is it can raise your insulin

levels and push down your blood sugars

give you like more of a hypoglycemic

reaction and then now you’re hungry for

more food and plus it has a lot of other

side effects which I’ll get into so let

me just differentiate between MSG and

glutamate all right so right here we

have something called el glutamic acid

now when I’m talking about glutamic acid

I’m really talking about glutamate

because one will turn into

the other okay so don’t get hung up on

the terminology but l Lu tannic acid is

the natural form of glutamate found in

foods and D glutamic acid is

artificially made and I want to talk

about the difference between these two

this is MSG okay

so when you have the D before it that

means it’s MSG when it has the L it’s

not MSG so it’s not going to create a

reaction now what’s so unique about D

glutamic acid is it’s unbound versus the

L version is bound to a protein so when

you consume food with this glutamate

it’s always bound with protein now if

you’re consuming just pure fat for

example you’re not gonna have glutamate

and that’s why when I said almost every

food contains glutamate I said almost

okay

fats don’t contain glutamate so we have

this version which is bound to a protein

and this version that’s unbound and what

this means is when you digest the food

this is much slower going into your body

this is super fast it’s gonna spike the

amount of glutamate by eight to ten

times in your blood when you consume

this because it goes in like a rocket

ship but this is slower and our body

regulates how much it wants okay so it

can shut off any excess amounts this

we’re just shoving it into the blood

large amounts and it can create a

problem this version is artificially

made and maybe you’ve seen this in some

of the ingredients hydrolyzed okay that

basically makes this protein unbound

okay so it breaks it up so it’s free it

can go on your body or Otto lies which

is another term to describe how it’s

broken down into a smaller particle or

modified so simply this is free unbound

glutamate and this is bound glutamate

okay now here’s the problem when you go

to the grocery store there are so many

products that have msg that are not on

the label that is the problem

especially if it’s listed as a

processing aid they don’t have to put it

in the label here are some of the

symptoms that people have when they’re

exposed to msg hives rashes they become

irritable forgetfulness with simple

words mood swings which describe maybe

some of your friends and family members

achy joints pain headaches and the list

goes on and on and on now here are some

of the names in the ingredients that

potentially could have msg natural

flavorings flavorings a vegetable broth

textured vegetable protein multiple

dextran bouillon cube authorized yeast

protein isolates smoke flavoring like

those barbecued potato chips that people

eat gelatin imitations soy sauce so

anyway I just wanted to be increased

your awareness of all the different

versions of MSG and the difference

between MSG and glutamate thanks for
