I have always thought that the stuff they added to our foods could be
causing a lot of our health problems, which in turn helps out the medical
field. All at our expense. What was wrong with the way our mother's and
grandmother's prepared food? They didn't have all of these health problems
as we do today. Something to think about. Read the article below and see
what you think.
SLOW POISONING OF AMERICA [and CANADA]
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, Waterloo,
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 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 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,
<http://www.spofamerica.com/> 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>
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 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, 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. Read about it for yourself at:
<http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/8458081.htm>
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 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 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 guys like Bush 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 the 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 Bush
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
<http://www.pubmed.com/> 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.
