MSG
(Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein)
How To Get Obese - Fast
A Silent Enemy
The following article was written by Dr David
Eldredge: I hope you take a moment to read
it. I just
read the entire article and was amazed at what I learned. I had previously
encountered bits and pieces on this topic from time to time over the years, but
had never before seen it all pulled together as it is in the article and
information shown below. I know those of you who are health-conscious ~ and
especially those of you who have young children ~ will be interested in knowing
this! We can empower ourselves by reading, staying aware, making healthy
choices, and taking appropriate action where possible or necessary.
Slow Poisoning of America
I wondered if there could be an
actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, so did John Erb, a friend
of mine. 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,
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!
Why is MSG in so many 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, [go to
http://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
http://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 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. How can they claim it is safe when
there are hundreds of scientific studies with titles like these?

Yes, that last study, written in
1978, was not a typo. Both the medical research community and food manufacturers
have known MSG's side effects for decades! [Does MSG cross the placental barrier
or become a constituent of breast milk?]
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.
Many studies mentioned in John
Erb's book link MSG to diabetes, migraines and other headaches, autism, ADD-HD
and even Alzheimer's.
But what can we do to stop the
food manufactures from dumping fattening, addictive and brain damaging MSG into
our food supply and causing the obesity epidemic we now see? And, perhaps
causing or contributing to the coinciding epidemic of depression, remember the
studies above that mention serotonin and hypothalamic lesions.
Even as you read this, George 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.
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 the fast food industry may hurt their profit margin. So what
do we do? The food producers and restaurants have been adding addicting MSG to
their products for years, and now we are paying the price for it. Our children
should not be cursed with obesity, and maybe brain damage causing depression,
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 guys
like Bush are insuring financial protection for the industry that is poisoning
us? Blow the whistle on MSG. I am sending this email out to everyone I know in
an attempt to show you the truth that the corporate-owned politicians and media
won't tell you, and hope that enough people are successful in forwarding it to
those who can expose this insidious evil before Bush can pass the Bill
protecting those who have knowingly 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?
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, depressed, 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
