• MSG – is an addictive neurotoxin that accumulates in the tissues, causes weight gain and a host of other problems. Things to know about MSG:
- Neuroscientist agree that MSG is a neurotoxin, killing brain neurons by exciting them to death
- Despite the fact that in 1980 MSG was added to the FDA’s list of additives needing further study due to the uncertainties that exist, MSG has been increasingly added to food products
- Studies reveal that when fed to pregnant rats MSG causes the offspring to suffer from learning disabilities
- In other studies on small animals MSG has been proven to cause brain damage to the young. As a result many baby food manufacturers have removed MSG from their products. However, there are still junior food products and baby formulas on the market that contain MSG. Ironically, many formulas for allergic infants contain larger amounts of MSG than the regular formulas.
- The leading reaction to MSG, which may take up to 48 hours to appear, is migraine headaches.
- MSG also effects the hunger center of the brain causing those who eat it crave it more. That is why food manufacturers put it in their products – it keeps you coming back for more!!!!!!!!
- MSG causes weight gain. It is actually fed to laboratory animals to fatten hem up for research without increasing their food intake.
When you consider that an estimated 60-90% of processed, packaged and frozen foods contain MSG, and the majority of the foods consumed in this country are these, it is understandable why so many people are sick, tired and overweight.
Food Manufactures disguise this toxic additive under more than 27 different names, MSG can be avoided. The best way to do so is to eat primarily whole, fresh natural and organic foods.
