Researchers are finding large amounts of transglutaminase, meat glue, in diseased tissues within the body. Cataracts is one example and another is a rash. Herpetiformis, which Medline Plus describes as a highly itchy chronic rash composed of bumps and blisters that last a long time. Homeopaths often say this is the body’s way of responding during detox. The body is trying to push out the toxic substance forming these responses.
Yesterday’s post on meat glue propagated many comments in private groups leading me down more rabbit trails of research. If you did not see yesterday’s post please link back for a read.
Transglutaminase must be noted as an ingredient on a food label. It can be listed in many forms including: transglutaminase, TG enzyme, enzyme or TGP enzyme. If a product uses meat glue the label should also read formed or reformed such as formed beef tenderloin. The challenge is a formed beef tenderloin with enzyme is the ingredient list can easily be read over as safe even by foodies.
Meat glue underwent some drastic criticism from consumers, most specifically from consumers with celiac disease.The same issues affecting celiac patients affect some children with hyperactivity or other behavioral issues. The manufacturer of meat glue, Ajinomoto, responded by saying eating meat glue is the same as eating compounds occurring naturally from cooking meat or fish. They added Transglutaminase is a safe product for people diagnosed with celiac disease.
The Truth in Labeling Campaign stepped forward and began researching and testing. They found many people who have celiacs have intestinal issues with MSG. Some protease enzymes produce MSG as they break down proteins. Ajinomoto is the founder of MSG. Celiac patients also have issues with Maltodextrin and Sodium Caseinate which are both ingredients in some of the meat glue products that can contain MSG, even though MSG is not on the ingredient list.
Again, it can simply read: enzyme.
