Behind 25+ Names, Such As
>>'Natural Flavouring' MSG Is Also In Your Favorite Coffee
Shops And
>>Drive-Ups

>>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
>>
>>And every restaurant 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.
http://www.spofamerica.com
>>
>>Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food
manufacturers lobby
>>group supporting MSG at:
http://www.msgfactscom/facts/msgfact12.html
>>explains that the reason they add it to food is to make
people EAT MORE OF
>>THEIR PRODUCTS.
>>
>>A study of the elderly showed that people eat more of the
foods 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'. GobattoCA, 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, IchikawaK,
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.com. 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 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.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, 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.
