Very interesting facts on MSG |

MSG Hides Behind 25+ Names, Such As 'Natural Flavoring.'
MSG Is Also In Your Favorite Coffee Shops And Drive-Ups (9-12-5 ).
I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, 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 are naturally obese, so the scientists have to create them. They make these morbidly obese creatures by injecting them with MSG when they are first born. The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates; causing rats (and humans?) to become obese. They even have a title for the fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats".
I was shocked too. I went to my kitchen, checking the
cupboards and the fridge. 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, 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. They hide MSG under many different
names in order to fool those who carefully read the ingredient list, so
they don't catch on. (Other names for MSG: '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 had 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 McDonalds Wendy's Taco Bell
And every restaurant like: TIFF, 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 may of the foods we eat?
Is it a preservative or a vitamin?? Not according to my friend John. In
the book he wrote, an expose of the food additive industry called "The
Slow Poisoning of America " he said that MSG is added to food for the
addictive effect it has on the human body. http://www.spofamerica.com
Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby
group supporting MSG at: http://www.msgfactscom/facts/msgfact12.html
explains that the reason they add it to food is to make people EAT MORE
OF THEIR PRODUCTS.
A study of the elderly showed that people eat more of the foods when
MSG is added. The Glutamate Association lobby group says eating more
benefits 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?
The 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. How can they
claim it 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'. GobattoCA, 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, IchikawaK, 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.
Yes, that last study was not a typo, it WAS written in 1978. Both the
"medical research community" and "food manufacturers" have known about
MSG's side effects for decades! Many more studies mentioned in John
Erb's book link MSG to Diabetes, Migraines and headaches, Autism, ADHD
and even Alzheimer's. But what can we do to stop the food manufactures
from dumping fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and
causing the obesity epidemic we now see?
Even as you read this, G. W. Bush and his corporate supporters are
pushing a Bill through Congress called the "Personal Responsibility in
Food Consumption Act" also known as the "Cheeseburger Bill", this
sweeping law bans anyone from suing food manufacturers, sellers and
distributors. Even if it comes out that they purposely added an
addictive chemical to their foods. Read about it for yourself at:
http://www.yahoo.com. The Bill has already been rushed through the
House of Representatives, and is due for the same rubber stamp at
Senate level. It is important that Bush and his corporate supporters
get it through before the media lets everyone know about 'MSG, the
intentional Nicotine for food'.
Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of
the highest government health officials in Canada. While 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
refused to tell the public what he knew.
The big media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing legal
issues with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout on 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 e-mail 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 email 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, 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 print out to all
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, get the word out.
