Are You Obese ??
American Native Discussion and Events
Slow Poisoning of US and Canada with MSG By Rebeca Davis
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 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 John. In the book he wrote, an expose of
the food additive industry called The Slow Poisoning of America,
http://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 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

Obesity induced monosodium glutamate treatment in spontaneously hypertensive
rats: an animal model of multiple risk factors. Yamamoto M, Iino K, Ichikawa

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 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
"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/.
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 (John Erb) ...
Have a Balanced Day!

Free Documentary Reveals Government and Industry Collusion to Hide Dangers
in Our Food
http://www.WantToKnow.info/healthvideodocumentaryfutureoffood
The food you eat may not be what you think it is. The Future of Food is an
excellent documentary which shows large-scale collusion between government
regulatory agencies and corporations producing genetically modified foods.
The result is that the majority of the corn and soy supply in the United
States is genetically modified (GM), yet the public is not even aware of
this, much less of the dangers of GM food. Engaging interviews with farmers,
scientists, and industry insiders reveal the great extent to which the
manufacture of the food on your plate is being patented and controlled by
corporations with little regard to the health implications for us or for
future generations. To view this excellent health documentary on Google

Nope!!! I'm just pleasingly plump!!!!![:D] 0 -
Good article, thanks for posting!
Best!!0 -
I bet some bright scientist will eventually recommend we eat food that has not been modified with anything.
My bet is that it will read like this;
To maintain health eat foods that are, well; food.
Chicken does not need up to a 10 percent "solution" (SALT WATER) Mr TYSON and Wal Mart.
Veggies frozen or purchased uncooked are good for you. Canned veggies are OK in pinch.
Avoid prepared foods, go to the trouble of actually cooking your meal from scratch. It is quite easy to do. Eating micro-wave chicken nuggets is not the answer.0 -
NO!
I'm a tiny bit fat.
Thanks for noticing.
Pardon, but are my shoes tied?0 -
WTH IS that sarge?!!! my goodness! 0 -
If it looks good don't eat it, If it smells good don't eat it,If it tastes good don't eat it spit it out. If you follow these rules you will be ok. If it comes in a box its not good for you, if it comes in a package its no good for you.[:(][xx(][V][8] 0 -

Moi you ask????
Perhaps I might be described as......
Ample. Portly. Stout. Generously proportioned. Endomorphic. Sturdy. Husky. Chubby. Big-boned. Robust. A hearty eater.
