Packaged Chips
Conventional packaged chips are one of the top carriers of monosodium glutamate(MSG). Other than being known to cause balding, MSG falls in the same group of excitotoxin as Aspartame. As mentioned, these group of chemicals hyperactivate the neuron receptors, causing them to send signals to the brain at an unsually high rate. This conveniently increases pain sensitivity thereby worsening the chronic pain. Research has shown that the level of pain in fibromyalgia patients has a direct proportionate relationship with the level of glutamate in the spinal fluid.
Tip: If you really need a snack, prepare a homemade lightly or non-salted baked sweet potato chips.
