MSG
The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is
a slow poison. MSG
hides behind 25 or more names, such as Natural
Flavoring.' MSG is even in your favorite coffee from Tim Horton's and Starbucks coffee shops!
I wondered if there could be an actual chemical
causing the massive obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and spent
years working for the government. He made an amazing
discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called The Slow Poisoning of America.
In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test
studies. No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so
scientists have to create them. They make these creatures morbidly obese by injecting them with MSG when they are first born.
The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas
creates, causing rats (and perhaps humans) to become obese. They even have a name for the fat rodents they create: 'MSG-Treated Rats.'
When I heard this, I was shocked. I went into my kitchen and checked the cupboards and the refrigerator. MSG was in everything -- the Campbell 's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays flavored potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Swanson frozen
prepared meals, and Kraft salad dressings, especially
the 'healthy low-fat' ones.
The items that didn't have MSG marked on the product label had something called 'Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein,'
which is just another name for Monosodium Glutamate.
It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed our children everyday are filled with this stuff. MSG
is hidden under many different names in order to fool those who read the ingredient list, so that they don't catch on. (Other names for MSG are 'Accent, 'Aginomoto,'
'Natural Meat Tenderizer,' etc.)
But it didn't stop there.
When our family went out to eat, we started asking at the restaurants what menu items contained MSG. Many employees, even the managers, swore they didn't use MSG.
But when we ask for the ingredient list, which they grudgingly provided, sure enough, MSG and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein were everywhere.
Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, every restaurant -- even the sit-down eateries like TGIF, Chili's, Applebee's, and Denny's -- use MSG in abundance. Kentucky Fried Chicken seemed to be the WORST offender: MSG was in every chicken dish, salad dressing. and gravy. No wonder I loved to eat that coating on the skin -- their secret spice was MSG!
So why is MSG in so many of the foods we eat?
Is it a preservative or a vitamin?
Not according to my friend John Erb. In his book The Slow Poisoning of America , he said that MSG is added to food for the addictive effect it has on the human body.
Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby group supporting MSG explains that the reason they add it to food is to make people eat more.
A study of the elderly showed that older people eat more of the foods that it is added to. The Glutamate Association
lobbying group says eating more is a benefit to the elderly, but what does it do to the rest of us?
'Betcha can't eat [just] one,' takes on a whole new meaning where MSG is concerned! And we wonder why the nation is overweight!
MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their products. It makes people choose their product over others, and makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn't added.
Not only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an addictive substance. Since its introduction into the American food supply fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and larger doses to the pre-packaged meals, soups, snacks, and fast foods we are tempted to eat
everyday.
The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be added to food. They claim it's safe to eat in any amount. But how can they claim it's safe when there are hundreds of scientific studies with titles like these:
'The monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rat as a
model for the study of exercise in obesity.' Gobatto CA, Mello MA, Souza CT, Ribeiro IA. Res Commun Mol Pathol Pharmacol. 2002.
'Adrenalectomy abolishes the food-induced hypothalamic serotonin release in both normal and monosodium glutamate-obese rats.' Guimaraes RB, Telles MM, Coelho VB, Mori C, Nascimento CM, Ribeiro. Brain Res Bull.
2002 Aug.
'Obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate
treatment in spontaneously hypertensive rats: An animal model of multiple risk factors.'
Iwase M, Yamamoto M, Iino K, Ichikawa K, Shinohara N,
Yoshinari Fujishima. Hypertens Res. 1998 Mar.
'Hypothalamic lesion induced by injection of monosodium glutamate in suckling period and subsequent development of obesity.' Tanaka K, Shimada M, Nakao K Kusunoki. Exp Neurol. 1978 Oct.
No, the date of that last study was not a typo;
it was published in 1978. Both the 'medical research community' and 'food manufacturers' have
known about the side effects of MSG for decades.
Many more of the studies mentioned in John Erb's
book link MSG to diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD, and even Alzheimer's.
So what can we do to stop the food manufactures
from dumping this fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity epidemic we now see?
Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of the highest government health officials in Canada. While he was sitting in the government office, the official told him, 'Sure, I know how bad MSG is. I wouldn't touch the stuff.' But this top-level government official refuses to tell the public what he knows.
The big media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing issues with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout on
the fast food industry may hurt their profit margin. The food producers and restaurants have been addicting us to their products for years, and now we are paying the price for it. Our children should not be cursed with obesity caused
by an addictive food additive.
But what can I do about it? I'm just one voice! What can I do to stop the poisoning of our children, while our governments are insuring financial protection for the industry that is poisoning us?
This message is going out to everyone I know in an attempt to tell you the truth that the corporate-owned politicians and media won't tell you.
The best way you can help to save yourself and your children from this drug-induced epidemic is to forward this article to everyone.
With any luck, it will circle the globe before politicians can pass the legislation protecting those who are poisoning us.
The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco industry. Imagine if big tobacco had a bill like this in place before
someone blew the whistle on nicotine?
If you are one of the few who can still believe that MSG is good for us and you don't believe what John Erb has to say,
see for yourself. Go to the National Library of Medicine at
http://www.pubmed.com/. Type in the words 'MSG Obese' and read a few of the 115 medical studies that appear.
We the public do not want to be rats in one giant experiment, and we do not approve of food that makes us into a nation of obese, lethargic, addicted sheep, feeding the food industry's bottom line while waiting for the heart transplant, the diabetic-induced amputation, blindness, or other obesity-induced, life-threatening disorders.
With your help we can put an end to this poison. Do your part in sending this message out by word of mouth, e-mail, or by distribution of this printout to your friends all over the world and stop this 'Slow Poisoning of Mankind' by the packaged food industry.>
Blowing the whistle on MSG is our responsibility, so get the word out.

I am extremely concerned about the chemicals which are allowed by the FDA to be added to our diets. Surely with enough voices, the FDA will have to take notice and help us protect ourselves, our children and future generations from the devastating effects of MSG and other dangerous chemicals like Alloxan and more...

What is this chemical doing in our food, and better yet what is it doing in our vaccines. What is the purpose of MSG in a vaccine, to hyperactivate the brains of millions of kids already learning disabled and hyeractive from previous vaccines that damaged the brain by its attack on the brains own imune system, whcih it has? Do those at the FDA have any basic idea of the complexity of the immune system? Yet is simple commons sense. Big Pharma profits while kids and adults are damaged by the endless addictive MSG in foods, and now vaccines.

Big Pharma profits while kids and adults are damaged by the endless addictive MSG in foods, and now vaccines.

I have suffered for years from migraines and lack of sleep because of nutrasweet and MSG. MSG is nearly impossible to avoid. It's in a popular pestaside for fruits and vegatables. I wish I could give those industry lobyists my headaches.

I have been tested for many different things and all test come back negative, yet my symptoms continue to be exacerbated, especially when I eat out. After much research on this I have discovered that my symptoms are due to MSG poisoning. This product should be banned from everything!

I am very concern about the health of my granchildren and family members, and for that matter the general public that are un-aware of the negative effects of MSG and High Fructose Corn Syrup that in both cases have hidden names to cover up these additives in our food. I am very upset about this and I am glad that they are others out there that feel the same way and want to get the word out. Thank you God Bless you.

For years I've known I couldn't eat foods with MSG in them, but didn't know about the names for hidden MSG. Recently I have begun to have nausea and dizziness so bad I'm forced to stay home from work at times. By scrupulously avoiding foods with the hidden MSG I've made some improvement. But going out to eat or eating in someone else's home is a nightmare for me. And I almost always suffer some health decrease after these events. There is almost nothing I can eat that I haven't prepared myself. What is this going to do to my grandchild? She is only 5 and I am 66. What will happen to her with this abundance of glutamates in our world. Please pass legislation eliminating the addition of these poisons to our food and demanding strict, explicit labeling of all products as well as the availability of glutamate information in restaurants. Respectfully, MC Murphy

MSG has poisoned me MANY times in my life. I have even been rushed to the ER and they couldn't tell what was wrong with me, although I had been passing out, throwing up and in and out consciousness. Since I was a child this had been happening to me. What are our children having to suffer from, in silence before we stop the poison?

I am worried and mad about what this food additive is doing to our health, and I think that the government needs to stop making people sick on purpose just to make a profit. This isn't the way God intended, so everyone involved will have to answer to him one day.

I would also like to add getting rid of HFCS ( high fructose corn syrup) which also is lurking in everything, including ketchup!! and 'natural Dannon yogart. There is nothing natural about HFCS. We are what we eat and we are eating chemicals!! Food companies use these stuff because it is cheaper then sugar. Poor people can't afford organic food so this then targets the poor. Our childrens health depends on us. Let us get rid of the unhealthy food we serve them

My dad nearly died from MSG. MSG is prevalent in poor communities such as where we live.
