My father was diagnosed in Sept. with ALS. Since that time, with all the research our family has done it did seem prudent to avoid MSG in the diet. Now I read on the front page of this forum that the guy from John Hopkins who discovered that ALS is caused by an overload of glutamate in your motor neurons, also says that you cannot get this overload from MSG or natural glutamate that you "consume". Have any of you changed your diet? Is that information outdated? My poor dad has had to deal with a huge change in his diet without any MSG. My mom also gives him whatever organic foods that can be found. (I do believe that organic is the way to go with this disease) However, with losing weight being a problem, a diet that can include MSG would be of great help. What do you think?
