A book I once read: _The Dorito Effect: The Surprising New Truth About Food and Flavor_
by Mark Schatzker, Chris Patton, et al. I don't remember now what may have been said specifically about MSG, but the authors had a lot to say about palatants -- substances added to foods to make you want to have more.
You're welcome. Published in 2015 (the audiobook version -- I used to listen while commuting), it was a major eye opener for me, and I already thought I knew quite a bit about what was being done to food.
As I recall, palatants are added to animal feed to fatten the animals. They are added to our foods for the same reason (eat more→spend more), but they go by names like "natural and artificial flavors". It sounds as though MSG has a similar function.
I believe "ranch dressing" is another topic in the book. How to make nutritionally deficient foods taste good.
Thanks so much for sharing this information, and your story. The neurotoxin wallet card shows great research on your part - because you were on a mission - LOL. Thanks again.
Robyn, these guides look amazing. But seriously, how do you send a 'laminated' sheet to someone's inbox? I'd love to buy these (which means the price for me is actually $30 CDN) but I know they're not laminated if they're being sent electronically. So, you can remove the word laminated because it looks like false advertising which makes you look silly. I can then laminate them if I print them on my own printer.
The free version is not advertised as "laminated." Just enter your e-mail address and you get it free, clicking on the first link that comes back in the e-mail.
Further down, you have an option to order the laminated versions and they are laminated and say so. They also are pre-printed in full color, so the laminated versions are not sent out "electronically." They are available for ordering at a price. Makes sense.

Thank you for the book recommendation. Robyn is going to read it.

Maybe you should read a little more carefully(?)

All is well on that site.
