In 2006, a nerve scan reavealed I have nerve damage in my right eye. My eye pressures are normal. The measurements vary between 15 and 18, never higher. I am being treated for glaucoma in my right eye. Could this be caused by MSG? Glaucoma does not run in my family. I am near sighted, but not much. I try to avoid processed food, and especially sugar becuase I have reactive hypoglycemia. I eat out about once a week with friends.

Question. If whey protein contains MSG, does this mean Mercola's protein shakes would have MSG? What about foods labeled 100% USDA certified organic? Ah, I feel like I can't eat ANYTHING anymore. I know raw and whole foods are best, but hey, as an endurance athlete sometimes you need processed foods that easily transportable and do not require refrigeration!

I recently started experiencing some strange symptoms and was (thank God) able to relate it back to the ingestion of MSG. I had an overall feeling of flu-like symptoms, dizziness, lesions on the inside of my mouth, and a very swollen throat. After pinpointing it and eliminating it from my diet, (it took about 4 days to feel mildly better) I am appalled at all of the things that they put this horrible additive in!!! To discover the symptoms of MSG toxicity all I had to do was google "MSG symptoms" What a wonderful tool the internet can be. We need to boycott all of the food manufacturers who knowingly are poisoning us!!!!
