Description
This is a collection of various documents from the 1970s, including most predominately, the correspondence between two women: M.G. Stemmermann, MD and Liane Reif-Lehrer, PhD, as they collaborated on Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) research. Reif-Lehrer, a renowned scientist from Harvard Medical School, is also known for her history of resilience in fleeing Nazi occupied territory in 1939 and her dedication to sharing her story. Stemmermann and Reif-Lehrer worked together to author articles detailing their experiences with children suffering from MSG intolerance—from seizures to vision issues. Along with their correspondence, there are also newspaper clippings, manuscript copies, and contributions from other doctors and scientists on the effects of MSG in food.
