MSG info.....Very Interesting Reading !!!

This is a great incentive not to eat prepackaged food and junk food of all kinds. You can bet your boots that every Chinese restaurant you go to puts MSG in their food. If you are moved to do it, send it to everyone you care about.

*****MSG****** The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG hides  Behind 25 or more names, such as "Natural Flavoring." (Ever noticed this one on the ingredients' list?)
 
MSG is even in your favorite coffee from Tim Horton's and other brand-name  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 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.

Thank you for sharing Sunny! I stopped using MSG many years ago because I found it was causing me to suffer with headaches! Good information here...
