MSG – The Slow Poison


The food additive MSG (Monosodium Glutamate or sodium glutamate) It is used as a food additive and is commonly marketed as a flavour enhancer. It has the HS code 29224220 and the E number E621. MSG was subsequently patented by Ajinomoto Corporation of Japan in 1909. In its pure form, it appears as a white crystalline powder .The name 'Aji no moto' translates to "essence of taste". It was introduced to the United States in 1947 as Ac'cent flavor enhancer.[ Glutamic acid and its ions and salts, called glutamates, are flavor-enhancing compounds which provide an savory taste to food. Glutamic acid is a natural constituent of many fermented or aged foods, including soy sauce, fermented bean paste, and cheese, and is also a component of hydrolyzed protein such as yeast extract. The sodium salt of glutamic acid, monosodium glutamate (MSG), is a widely used additive in the food industry.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.

The study shows food additive MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as “Natural Flavouring.” MSG is even in your favourite coffee from Tim Horton’s and Starbucks 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 a remarkable 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 that the pancreas normally creates, causing rats (and perhaps humans) to become obese.



When I heard this, I was bewildered, leading me to head into my kitchen to check the cupboards and the refrigerator. MSG was in everything -- the Campbell’s soup cans, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays flavoured potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Gloria Swanson frozen prepared meals, and Kraft branded salad dressings, particularly the so-called “healthy low-fat” ones.
The items that didn’t have MSG marked on the product labels had something called “Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein,” which is just another name for Monosodium Glutamate.

For those of us not accustomed to all these, it was a shock to see the myriad foods we feed our children everyday that are filled with this stuff. Frighteningly MSG is hidden under many different names in order to fool those who read the ingredient lists, so that they don’t catch on. Other names to watch out for that is also MSG are “Accent,” “Ajinomoto,” “Natural Meat Tenderiser,” etc.

But it doesn’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 Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein were everywhere.Burger King, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, every restaurant -- even the sit-down eateries like TGIF, Chili’s, Applebee’s, and Denny’s -- use MSG in amazing abundance. KFC – formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken – seemed to be the WORST offender: MSG was in every chicken dish, salad dressing and sauce. 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 or an innocuous flavour enhancer? 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.

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 increasingly larger doses to the pre-packaged 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. But how can they claim it’s safe when there are hundreds of scientific studies with titles like the following:

“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.


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?

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, email, 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.

Cell phones as bad as x-rays



Would you allow 1600 chest x-rays for yourself or your child?According to The Independent, a recent study led by a renowned neurosurgeon, Dr. Vini Khurana, strongly demonstrates that prolonged exposure to mobile phone radiation will result in brain cancer and neighboring tissue damage:Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation

KIDS SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED CELL PHONES. Instead, they live with them like a second appendage.By 2010 there will be 31 million young cell phone users, 10.5 million of them pre-teens."Parents have made teens and their younger 8-12 year old siblings the fastest growing segment of the cell phone market," says Yankee Group, a consulting firm which promotes all things wireless. In 2007, a Harris Interactive survey reported that American kids age 10-17 admit to using a cell phone an average of up to 3.75 hours per day.A teen boasting five or more hours per day is not uncommon.

I would not want to be a heavy user of a mobile phone," says Professor Bruce Armstrong, researcher at the University of Sydney School of Public Health. Heading the Australian component of the multi-nation Inter phone study project, Armstrong told the media in April, 2008, that evidence of a mobile phone connection with harmful effects, including tumors, is accumulating.

For kids, this is bad news. In 2005, the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics confirmed that children are especially sensitive to all electromagnetic fields because their developing nervous systems are fragile, their brain tissues more conductive and their smaller skeletons more easily penetrated by the waves.Others electrical component effects the body after long-term exposures including continuous waves from radio and TV transmitter towers, cordless phone base stations, power lines, and wireless/Wife computing devices.clinical studies internationally and one long-term meta-analysis, for a results link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours

Microwave phones can make kids hearing-impaired. According to research presented in 2007 by the American Academy of Otolaryngology, cell phone radiation incrementally damages the inner ear, causing high frequency hearing loss. Those who talk an hour a day or more, sustain the most damage. Youthful cell phone habituates will suffer major and irreversible hearing damage by the time they reach young adulthood.



Surgery: Annie Levitz, 16, lost the feeling in her hands because she was spending so much time texting

U.S. teenage girl needs surgery for loss of feeling in fingers after sending more than 4,000 text messages a month.Annie Levitz, 16, lost the feeling her hands because she was spending so much time typing messages on her mobile phone. At her worst, she was sending more than 100 texts every day.And most of the messages she sent were pointless.

She said: ‘It's not even good texts.
‘It's like, "Hey, hey, what's up? What's up? Not much." Just ridiculous texting. I'm learning not to do [it] anymore.’
Annie said that she got scared after she began to develop pain.
‘I started losing feeling in my hands and they'd go numb,’ she explained. ‘I'd go to pick up dishes and things and they'd just fall out of my hands.’Doctors then diagnosed Annie,and fitted braces on her wrists.She has also had cortisone injections to deal with the pain. But Annie will still have to go under the knife in a bid to relieve her discomfort.
