SAY NO TO MSG

FOR THOSE OF YOU SITTING EATING YOUR CHIPS AND CHEESE TRIX AND DRINKING YOUR STORE BOUGHT CUP OF COFFEE FULL OF MSG BE AWARE - I recently read this intersting piece on the web :

The FDA has set no limits on how much of it {MSG}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

NOTE: 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 studies are mentioned in John Erb's book "The Slow Poisoning of America" and link MSG to diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD, and even Alzheimer's.
I BELIEVE MSG is a major contributor to the obesity that exists all around us because it is said that it triples the amount of insulin that the pancreas creates in rats so why not in humans too?
So what can we do to stop the food manufactures from dumping this fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply ? We can keep telling people what you know every time you see them eating something that you know is filled with the stuff.....Most of us are addicted as it makes food taste so good we don`t want to hear anything negative about it.....
If you are one of the few who still believe that MSG is good for us and you don't believe what John Erb has to say , do the research for yourself. Click on the following link to the website for the National Library of Medicine . Type in the words "MSG Obese" in the search option and read a few of the 115 medical studies that appear.
And then continue eating it,but don`t complain when you reap the rewards!!!!!
