About the Author

Author, Debby Anglesey, has researched and written a book that addresses the connection of glutamate (MSG) to the dramatic rise in health problems such as ADD, headaches, depression, obesity, stomach problems, and neurological disorders. Describing her own past health condition as being "one foot in the grave", she shares her remarkable journey from despair to reclaimed health. When her 19 year old son's health suddenly spiraled downward, Debby went into first gear and discovered the hidden culprit lurking in the majority of the items we eat today from snack foods to vitamins.

Today, she devotes much of her time answering e-mail, letters, and phone calls regarding MSG, and has helped hundreds of fellow victims of this growing health crisis.

Debby Anglesey and her husband, Mike, live in Washington state and have two daughters and two sons and six grandchildren. She wrote her book to help her family and friends, never dreaming how many people it would eventually reach. The 20th century gave us much in terms of new technologies. However, we are now reaping the results of the massive amounts of chemicals that infest our water, air, soil, and food. Our bodies are not equipped to handle such an assault. MSG is one of the most dangerous factory created substances added to and sometimes hidden in much of our processed foods. Yet, unlike smokers who choose whether to light that first cigarette, most of us don't have a choice regarding hidden sources of MSG in our foods.

In 1999, after an article about Debby and the work she does as a consumer advocate appeared in the local newspaper, Debby and Mike were invited to be interviewed for the local evening news program. The three minute segment spurred invitations to speak to local groups and a book signing and discussion at Barnes & Noble. When the newspaper article and photo were picked up by the Associated Press, calls and e-mail from people around the country trying to order the book began to pour in. Si

This review is from: Battling the MSG Myth (Plastic Comb)
This book was worth the price to me, because it is the first time I have read that citric acid can have the same effect that MSG has on a person. Years ago I was forced to find out what was causing me to have the headaches from hell. When I discovered that it was MSG, I avoided it like the poison it is. However, from time to time I would still have one of these dreaded episodes. When I couldn't trace any intake of MSG, I looked for another culprit. I finally realized the problem was citric acid. I have told a number of doctors this only to have some varied reactions. A couple of them have just outright laughed in my face. "No one can be allergic to citric acid", they say. And both of these men were alternative doctors who claimed to be very aware of how important diet is in our lives. However, I knew it was a culprit. Deborah goes into great detail about the list of things that can cause the problems for MSG sensitive individuals.

She has some great sounding recipes in the book. However, she is obviously not sensitive to sugar. Her recipes are heavy with sugar, but I understand that is not her problem, and I will just have to make allowances for that and adjust the recipes for me. I am very glad that I found this book. I am heartsick at what our country is doing to us by letting our food supply be filled with these toxins and protecting the food industry for the sake of the almighty dollar. My husband says I am like the Canary in the mine. Through my problems we have learned a lot and are trying eat right. Hopefully, my family will not have to suffer with some of the horrible brain related diseases that a lot of families are going through by eliminating these awful additives from our diet. If you suspect that you or one of your family members have a problem with MSG, I would recommend that you get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK!!, October 2, 2007

This review is from: Battling the MSG Myth (Plastic Comb)
This book has been needed for a long time. Kudos to the author for all her research and well written book. The recipes for all the sauces etc, that are not safe to buy ready made, are a gift from heaven to our family and to everyone who EATS!! MSG has invaded almost all manufactured food products and under so many guises, that to be safe you must make everything you ingest yourself. I am totally migraine free after 35 years. And I know how to shop for canned Tuna and dozens of other items you would never have known contained MSG. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! My grandchildren will be so much healthier, brain safe and smarter, because their Gramma has this wonder of a book! We are a medical family that is actively trying to prevent damaging elements being in the food supply and fed to the children(and adults)of the world, who assume that it is safe and under some watchful government eye. I plan on recommending this book to everyone I know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful reference book, May 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Battling the MSG Myth (Plastic Comb)
This is a valuable book to have around the house if you are trying to avoid excitotoxins in your food.The recipes which compose almost half of the book are useless to me as too many include gluten but the first half of the book was worth the price.
