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 in 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 fat
rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats".

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 flavoured 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 marked on the product label 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 carefully read the ingredient list, so
they
don't catch on. (Other names for MSG: 'Accent' - 'Aginomoto' - 'Natural
Meet
Tenderizer', etc) 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

And every restaurant 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 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" he said that MSG is added to food for the addictive
effect it has on the human body. http://www.spofamerica.com

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 OF THEIR
PRODUCTS.

A study of the elderly showed that people eat more of the foods 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 pre-packaged
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 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'. GobattoCA, 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, IchikawaK, 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 about
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, G. 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.yahoo.com. 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 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 e-mail 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 email 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?

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 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, 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, e-mail or by
distribution of this print-out to all 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, get the word out.
