We are not to blame for many cravings.
Many processed foods have monosodium glutamate in them to enhance
their desirability... the glutamate leads you to want more..hence you
lose control. And "THEY" know it... hence their motto... "can't eat just one".
Also monosodium glutamate is an inorganic form of glutamate (we have a taste receptor on our tongue for this molecule).. and can negatively affect
the nervous system in some people. Getting a "rush" of this can make some people ill... it is called the "Chinese restaurant syndrome"...but it can cause
blurred vision, chest tightness, flushing, headache.
Many chain restaurants use it too.. places like Chili's. It is available in a powder form called Accent. At one time there were TV commercials for it, but not lately have I seen one.
