msg
The salt of an amino acid which is used by the body as a neurotransmitter. There are receptors for glutamate in the hypothalamus, the eyes, the ears, the pancreas. Thus, the food additive MSG, which when ingested raises blood levels of this amino acid in the blood, affects a myriad of body processes. Because free glutamate is the currency of nerve transmission in the body, MSG ingestion can result in ringing in the ears, blurred vision, dizziness, and an insulin increase. Seemingly disparate reactions which all have a neurotransmitter link to glutamate. In addition, glutamate is a calcium channel OPENER, which affects the cardiovascular system. (Most of the public is familiar with calcium channel BLOCKERS - which lower blood pressure.) MSG may cause headaches by affecting the constriction of blood vessels. By also increasing histamine response, MSG ingestion has also been associated with diseases of inflammation such as rosacea. By affecting the pancreas and hypothalamus - the seat of hunger in the brain, MSG injected in mice has been proven to cause obesity. MSG causes leptin resistance in mice. (Leptin is the substance released by fat cells and active in the hypothalamus which controls appetite by suppressing AMPK. Mice with activated AMPK eat more, and reduce activity by 30% in effect becoming "lazy".) Thus MSG indirectly activates AMPK, the substance that increases weight due to the body trying to conserve enrgy any way it can.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Arrived speedily and exactly as pictured.
I LOVE GETTING THE FUCKING MUG
The wife absolutely loved it for her birthday
it was the best and it was so worth the 10000000000 dollars
Can we really send one to Trump? That's where mine is going. Anyone who gets it will see it as a compliment, I'm sure. Love my mug and love that new "urban dictionary" term: Celebritrash. It'll be in the mainstream dictionaries next week.
My friend saw the message on the cup ordered at a mutual friends house. We think it’s hilarious so had to put it on a coffee cup. Funny, great Christmas present. If she can’t use in public she can always use at home for pens and pencils on her desk!
Bought the "Bump Down" mug for my boyfriend, he thought it was the greatest and couldn't believe I'd actually found something with the phrase on it!
Great mug but i can't manage to get it out of my asshole again
First heard the term “Cheddar Headed” from the song Feel Good by the Gorillaz. Had to look it up and found the definition hilarious and at times very true! So......had to have it! Took it to work and it definitely made an impression. Hahaha!
This was purchased as a gift , and it describes the recipient perfectly . It arrived sooner than expected, and I am very impressed with the quality .
The mug I ordered was exactly as described on the site. The shipping was fast as well. I will buy from these people again.
Cute mug, arrived promptly in great condition. I like how you can choose background color & change wording. Will feel cheerful when drinking my coffee in this :)
Heavenly Mug This mug has been sent from the heavens. I'm too broke to buy it. But one day... I will. I will be mugged, dammit!
Why am I here? I don't know how I got here, but I can't stop writing weird things on the cup...😅 Help me. I have a test to study for. A family. Also, if I wasn't broke I would buy 10,000 of these mugs. They look highly entertaining. Love this website, and I probably will fail the test. 🙃
I took time designing it but wasn't sure, online tools being what they are, that what I was seeing was for sure what I'd get. Very much appreciated the customer service communication which verified that what I'd designed was what I wanted, and the shipping was quick too.
Item came on time as promised
Came within a week and it's exactly what I ordered, my friend will love it!
Sus cup I bought the sus mug for the sus king Daequan

My mug came in broken but Urban Dictionary replaced it at no extra charge!
