How can we get the word out that the EPA has exempted the use of glutamic acid on all crops? About 8 months ago, the Truth in Labeling Campaign filed a formal petition with the EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to reverse their regulation, but no action has been taken on our petition to date.
There is no question, based on published animal studies by neuroscientists, that glutamic acid is a neurotoxin and affects neuroendocrine function.
