article. It may change your health for the better. It is startling!!
Food additive "MSG" is a Slow Poison. Slow Poisoning MSG hides behind 25
or more names, such as "Natural Flavouring".
MSG is also in your favourite Tim Horton's and other brand coffee shops!
Pass this on to those who still may be unaware or disbelieving of the
dangers of MSG. 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 is 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 flavoured 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 Meet
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, every restaurant, even the sit
down ones like TGIF, Chilis', Applebees 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.

food manufacturers lobby group supporting MSG at:
http://www.msgfacts
add it to food is to make people eat more. A study of the elderly showed
that people eat more of the foods that it is added to. 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'. 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.
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.
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.
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.
