Christmas wishlist
yeah. christmas is still a good 56 days away but i'd like to start early because these are extremely hard to get.
1. The Possble Sword-When activated, it can simultaneously exist where it is and where it can be. Therefore it could deal hundreds of wounds simultaneously. exists in a book.
2. The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi-one of japan's imperial regalia. has the ability to control wind. name literally means the grass cutter, not sure really. existence is questionable.
3. Sightblinder-causes its wielder to be perceived by observers as someone they either fear or trust, giving the power of disguise but not the power of stealth. existsin a book.
yes these are ridiculous. pero astig sila.

MSG Overload
I can honestly say that what i do is killing me. 4 packs of yakisoba. 2 packs of itnok noodle soup. 1 pack nova cheddar cheese. 1 pack clover chips. if kidney failure doesn't kill me i don't what will.
What exactly is MSG?
MSG, or Monosodium Glutamate is a salt of the amino acid - Glutamic Acid (glutamate). A salt is the chemical name for a molecule held together by opposite charges. Basically one (mono) sodium atom is "stuck" to the amino acid glutamate.
Why do food companies add MSG to foods?
There are several reasons:
MSG tricks your tongue into making you think a certain food is high in protein and thus nutritious.
It is not a "meat tenderizer". It is not a "preservative". The food industry is trying to confuse the issue by focusing on the "fifth" taste sense they call umami. Free glutamic acid is detected by the taste buds as a simple way to signal the presence of protein in a food, just as there are fat receptors to detect fats and receptors that sense carbohydrate or sweet flavors. The purpose is to help us discern real food from inedible matter. It changes your perception of not simply taste but the nutritious qualities of what you put into your mouth. However, and here is the main problem with free glutamic acid - It is the very same neurotransmitter that your brain and many organs including your ears, eyes, nervous system and pancreas in your body use to initiate certain processes in your body.
MSG stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin.
So many diets these days are concerned about the Glycemic Index of foods and yet none of them address the fact that MSG and free glutamic acid stimulate the pancreas to release insulin when there doesn't even have to be carbohydrates in the food for that insulin to act on. The food industry has found their own "anti-appetite suppressant". It's a convenient way to keep consumers coming back for more. The blood sugar drops because of the insulin flood. And you are hungry an hour later. Sound familiar?
The body changes excess glutamate to GABA.
GABA may be addictive. It is calming and affects the same receptors in the brain as valium.
Cost. The illusion created by adding MSG to a food product enables the food processor to add LESS real food. The illusion of more protein in a food allows the food producer to put LESS protein in it. The consumer perceives the product - say chicken soup - to have more chicken in it than is actually there. Example: A well-known brand of dehydrated chicken noodle soup. Is that chicken in there, or a piece of confetti?
