Protecting your Neurons
*
In an effort to determine whether vitamin E protects the negative effects of MSG on the neurons, a study titled "The Preventive Effort of Vitamin E on The Neurological Toxicity" by the Journal of Islamic Academy of Sciences found that vitamin E has proven to protect the negative effects of MSG on the nervous system. The study involved 100 day-old chicks. All were injected with MSG. One group was given vitamin E 24 hours prior to their injection of MSG. All but this group developed neurological symptoms and died quickly. The group that was given vitamin E 24 hours prior suffered no ill effects.
