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, 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 's soups, the Hostess Doritos,

the Lays flavor ed 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, Mcs, 's, Taco Bell, every

restaurant, even the sit down ones like TGIF, Chilis', Applebees and Denny's

use MSG in abundance. Ken tucky Fried Chicken seemed to be the WORST

offender: MSG as 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 . In the book he wrote, an expose of

the food additive industry called The Slow Poisoning of America, 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.msgfactscom/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?

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 RC, Nascimento CM, Ribeiro Brain Res Bull. 2002 Aug

Obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate treatment in spontaneously

hypertensive rats: an animal mod el of multiple risk factors. 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

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 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, 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 la w 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

" 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, 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 restauran ts 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 Erb has to say, see for

yourself. Go to the National Library of Medicine, at 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.

Let's save our children says ( Erb) ...
