I am a professional athlete and trainer, so I try to keep well versed in nutrition and such...
Something that I found in my research... I call it:
"MSG. the nicotine of the food industry"
Slow Poisoning
>
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, 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
race of fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats" MSG?
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 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
catch on.
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, www.spofamerica.com
, 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 at: file://www.msgfacts.com/facts/msgfact12.html
explains that the reason they add it to food is to make people eat
more.
A study of elderly people 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
prepackaged 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 is safe when
there are
hundreds of scientific studies with titles like these?

Yes, that last study was not a typo, it WAS written in 1978. Both the
medical
research community and food "manufacturers" have known 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, 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.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/8458081.htm
"Last month the House of Representatives passed the "Personal
Responsibility
in Food Consumption Act" to protect the food and beverage industry from
civil
lawsuits. Under the measure, known as the "Cheeseburger Bill," people
who buy
food or drinks couldn´t sue the companies that made them, the stores
that sold
them or the restaurants that served them if they got fat from the
products,
so long as the products met existing laws.
The Senate is expected to take up a similar bill later this year."
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
these
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 the fast
food
industry may hurt their profit margin.
So what do we do? 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 top levels of government are insuring
financial
protection for the industry that is poisoning us. I for one am doing
something
about it. I am sending this email out to everyone I know in an attempt
to show
you the truth that corporate-owned politicians and media won´t tell
you.
The best way you can help 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 Congress can pass the Bill protecting those who
poisoned
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? Blow the whistle on MSG. 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 www.pubmed.com
. Type
in the words "MSG Obese", and read a few of the 115 medical studies
that
appear.
We 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,
waiting
for the slaughter.
With your help we can put an end to this, and stop the Slow Poisoning
of
America.
Let´s save our children...save all of us !!
