The Food Additive MSG
(Mono-Sodium Glutamate)is a slow poison.
MSG hides behind 25 or
more names such as “Natural Flavouring”.
MSG is even in your
favourite coffee from Tim Hortons and Starbucks coffee shops!
John
Erb, a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario,
Canada, 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. Not
naturally obese, they made 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.
“When
I heard this,” wrote John Erb, “I was shocked. I checked my
refrigerator and kitchen cupboards. MSG was in everything...Campbell
soups,
Hostess
Doritos,
the Lays
flavoured potato chips,
Better
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 Mono-sodium Glutamate! 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.)
“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 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!
“Even
the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby
group supporting MSG explains that the reason they add it to food is
to entice people to 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? And we
wonder why the nation is overweight???
“Not
only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an
'addictive substance'. Since its inception 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 every day. 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 published about the adverse effects? 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...seizures,
chest pains, nausea, burning sensations, diabetes, migraines and
headaches, autism, ADHD and even Alzheimer's.
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
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 addictive food
additive!
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.

Other Chemical Additives in the Food Industry
Aspartame:
sweetener in snacks, sweets, alcohol, desserts, diet foods. Reports
show good possibility of... headaches,
blindness and seizures with long-term doses of these foods.
Benzoic
Acid:
active in many foods including drinks, cereals, meat products. Can
temporarily inhibit production
of digestive enzymes.
Sulphur
Dioxide:
these food insertions can cause bronchial
problems and/or low blood pressure, flushing, tingling sensations or
shock.
Nitrites/Nitrates:
One of the most dangerous additives used in most processed meats to
stabilize the colour of the product e,g, lunch meats, smoked fish,
sausages, bacon and hot dogs. Any of these may cause cardiovascular
collapse!
Note: the majority of the colouring additives being used
are derived from 'carcinogens' like coal tar.
Good Food in the World...but Many Are Choosing Poorly!
(submitted by Maria Cheng, The Associated Press)
London:
There may be more fruit, vegetables and healthy options available
than ever before, for much of the world...but it seems most people
are mostly hungry
for 'fast food'.
In studies of eating habits in nearly 190 countries and diet surveys
over 20 years, experts found that even though people are eating more
healthy foods (including whole grains and fish), there has been a
bigger jump in the amount of junk
food eaten!
Some of the Key Findings:
Older adults ate better than younger adults...and women ate better
than men.
Some of the best nutritional improvements were seen in Mongolia,
Latin America and the Caribbean.
Westerners were among the biggest eaters of junk food...
China, Japan and India were catching up!
ADVICE: Since many people lack the will-power to improve eating
habits,
Governments should step in!
