For anyone who has ME with nerve symptoms or also has Fibromyalgia, attched is a good list of hidden sources of MSG. Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter and should be avoided.
- Glutamate is used at the great majority of fast excitatory synapses in the brain and spinal cord. It is also used at most synapses that are "modifiable", i.e. capable of increasing or decreasing in strength. Modifiable synapses are thought to be the main memory-storage elements in the brain. Excessive glutamate release can overstimulate the brain and lead to excitotoxicity causing cell death resulting in seizures or strokes.[9] Excitotoxicity has been implicated in certain chronic diseases including ischemic stroke,epilepsy, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington disease, and Parkinson's disease[10]
