Inmate dies with 'vetsin'
BY DONALYN GUERRERO
A provincial jail detainee died Tuesday after reportedly drinking an undetermined amount of monosodium glutamate, locally known as "vetsin", a day before his scheduled transfer to the national penitentiary.

Inmate Rolly Pacunla, 42, of Brgy. Tampalon, Kabankalan City, was foaming in the mouth when he was rushed to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital at about 9 p.m. Tuesday, Provincial jail warden Marcos Ybañez told the DAILY STAR yesterday.

Pacunla died at the hospital later, Ybañez said. He also said initial investigation showed that Pacunla diluted the "vetsin" with orange juice in his drinking glass and drank it. He said Pacunla's co-inmates reported to the quadrangle guard that he had a stomachache and was asking to be brought to the hospital.

He said the jail guard did not act at once because Pacunla claimed earlier that he will escape from jail if given a chance. After few minutes, however, Pacunla vomited and his face grew pale, prompting the jail guards to rush him to the CLMMRH.

Ybañez said they recovered two sachets of monosodium glutamate from Pacunla's bed and found the residue of "vetsin" in his drinking glass.

He said Pacunla's younger brother Prudencio, also a detainee told him that his brother had said that he will kill himself before he is transferred to the Muntinlupa.

Ybañez said Pacunla remains were subjected to autopsy and he expects the result today. He said his brother, Prudencio was remitted to the national penitentiary yesterday.

Court records show that Rolly and Prudencio Pacunla were remitted to the Provincial Jail in January after Kabankalan Judge Henry Arles sentenced them to a 40 years of imprisonment, or reclusion perpetua for killing Greg Padu-ong in Brgy. Tampalon on Feb. 22, 2002.

Arles, meanwhile, dismissed the murder charge against another Pacunla sibling, Jose Joleito Pacunla, on the grounds that he has not been identified to have participated in the commission of the crime.*DM

Health dangers associated with MSG

Independent research has identified the following adverse reactions to MSG

Headaches/migraines, Lethargy, Sleepiness, Anxiety, Panic attacks, Mental confusion/disorientation, Insomnia, Nausea/vomiting, Diarrhea, Stomach cramps, Irritable bowel syndrome, Bloating, Asthma attacks, Shortness of breath, Chest pain or tightness, Runny nose/sneezing, Extreme dryness of the mouth, Hives or rash, Palpitations, Flushing, Mouth lesions

MSG has been shown to cause lesions on the brain, especially in children. These lesions cause cognitive, endocrinological and emotional abnormalities. In children excess glutamate affects the growth cones on neurons. Growth cones are vital in laying down chemical pathways in the brain to enable the brain to operate effectively. Studies show that rats who had been fed MSG from birth could not escape mazes or discriminate between stimuli as well as non MSG fed rats. The implications for human children are that MSG could seriously affect their cognitive skills and cause learning difficulties.

Many Medical Practitioners recommend the following people avoid MSG;

infants

children

pregnant women

women of childbearing age

obese people (animals given MSG became overweight)

people with hypoglycemia (removing excess glutamate uses up more glucose)

people with low brain energy (excess glutamate prevents glucose getting to the brain)

people with learning difficulties (glutamate affects the growth cones in neurons)

migraine or headache sufferers

asthma or allergy sufferers

sufferers of a brain disease such as Alzheimer's

sufferers of tinnitus or Meniere's disease

sufferers of most chronic illnesses

people who are health conscious.

What is MSG Sensitivity?
MSG sensitivity has been described as a powerful drug reaction. Highly sensitive people cannot tolerate even the naturally occurring amounts of glutamate such as can be found in tomatoes and mushrooms without having an immediate reaction. These people should obviously take all steps to avoid ingesting MSG. The MSG industry believes that the only people who suffer adverse reactions to MSG are people with MSG Sensitivity.

Diagnosis of MSG Sensitivity can be difficult because:
None of the symptoms of MSG toxicity, as listed above, are caused exclusively by MSG. They can be caused by other physical conditions or food additives and be exacerbated by the MSG.

Reactions to MSG can take place up to 72 hours after ingestion.

Reactions are related to the amount of MSG ingested; some people can eat MSG safely in one meal a week, or a day, but if they eat two meals a day they will react

It can be hard to pinpoint MSG reactions due to MSG often being hidden in foods.
Scientists have proven that everyone does react to MSG – it all depends on the dose of MSG given. People who do not suffer an immediate or acute reaction to the substance will, scientists believe, suffer brain cell damage which can lead to long-term health problems as detailed above.
