The Elderly
There are copious data that underscore the fact that the unborn and the very young are most at risk from ingestion of MSG, but little attention has been paid to the elderly.The elevated risk to the very young lies in the fact that their blood-brain barriers are not fully developed. Would it not, therefore, be logical that the elderly, whose barriers to keep MSG from entering the brain may have been diminished by the inevitable effects of aging, would also be at greater risk from ingestion of MSG than the general population?
