MSG sprayed right on crops as they grow -- even fruits, nuts, seeds, grains, and vegetables used in baby food!

When is anyone going to do anything about this? You don't have to

buy a book to know something is wrong and just start talking to

everyone you know.

Autism and ADHD Linked to Addictive Food Additive

 

For the last fifty years, the medical community has been baffled by

the rise in cases of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and

Autism. These two diseases, unheard of before 1950, have been

striking an increasing number of children. Physicians have been

unable to explain to parents why their children are suffering these

maladies despite there not being any family history of the disorder.

 

Finally these parents will know the answer. Thanks to John Erb, a

developmental disorder researcher and author of the book The Slow

Poisoning of America , the cause of ADHD and Autism is no longer a

mystery.

 

" These diseases appear to be caused by a food additive commonly

known as MSG or Monosodium Glutamate. " John Erb explains, " MSG is

added to food because of its addictive qualities, it is nicotine for

food. It is highly reactive in the human brain and other organs. "

 

MSG and its related ingredients have been found in increasing

amounts in processed and fast foods. Almost every restaurant and

most processed foods from snacks and soups to ready made meals have

glutamate in them in some form or another. MSG has no nutritional

value. Scientific studies have shown that food laced with the MSG

cause people to eat more of it, and faster, than food without it.

 

" Corporations use this knowledge to sell their products. Their

competition uses MSG, so they keep adding it in larger amounts to

keep up with them, "

 

John Erb comments. The FDA has no limits on how much MSG can be

added to foods, even though as little as two tablespoons of it has

been shown to cause epileptic convulsions and death in animals such

as dogs.

 

MSG is a highly reactive amino acid. It is used by scientists in

studies to purposely cause death to areas of the brain and is fed to

rodents to make a strain of obese and pre-diabetic test subjects.

MSG is classified as a neurotoxin: too much of it introduced to the

brain can cause rapid cell death. It is this kind of destruction

that John Erb states is the cause of ADHD and Autism. He came to

this conclusion after reviewing hundreds of medical journal articles

detailing the ways in which glutamate affects organs such as the

brain. According to John Erb, " When a woman becomes pregnant, the

placental barrier is not fully formed in the first month of fetal

development. The chemicals the mother eats can go directly to the

developing child.

 

The glutamate stimulates rapid growth in the brain, creating ADHD

symptoms.

 

Too much glutamate over-stimulates areas of the brain, resulting in

neuronal cell death. This destruction to the neurons results in the

symptoms categorized as Autism. "

 

MSG is used in almost every institutional setting across the

country. From hospitals to school cafeterias to elderly care

facilities, MSG is being added to mass produced food to increase its

palatability. Women are being exposed to a major toxin that can

cause irreparable damage to their child even before they discover

they are pregnant.

 

Shocked by his discovery, John Erb met with Dr. Thomas Ward, Nova

Scotia's Deputy Minister of Health, a pediatrician who specialized in

Neonatology. When Mr. Erb explained to Dr. Ward about the dangers

of MSG, Dr. Ward replied, " I know how awful the stuff is, I would

never touch it. "

 

When John Erb pressed the Deputy Health Minister to remove it from

all food products, Dr. Ward said that it was an issue for the

federal government, and suggested that Mr. Erb take his book The

Slow Poisoning of America to the federal government and " Hit them

over the head with it. "

 

John Erb took his discovery to Dr. Susan Bryson, head of the Autism

Research Center in Halifax, and one of the leading Autism scientists

in Canada. She was amazed by his findings, and confirmed that

current studies being done by the National Institute of Health show

that the cause of Autism has been linked to a toxin invading the

embryo's brain stem at as early as twenty days after conception.

The NIH had not yet identified the toxin, but thanks to John Erb's

discovery, they now know the direction in which to focus their

research.

 

" The sooner people know that MSG can cause ADHD and Autism in their

unborn children, the sooner they can take steps to avoid being

another victim of the steadily increasing numbers of these

disorders, " John Erb states.

 

Autism, unheard of before 1950, (MSG was introduced to the American

diet in 1948) has now risen to epidemic proportions, with one in

every 200 children born with the affliction.

 

" There may be a genetic component deciding who is stricken with ADHD

and Autism, otherwise when you consider the rampant use of MSG in

today's diet, every child would be born with either ADHD or Autism.

But if the growth curve keeps going the way it has, it won't be long

before this is the case. "

 

MSG has been hidden in food ingredient lists as hydrolyzed vegetable

protein, autolyzed yeast extract, soy protein isolate, and many

other names.

 

Every year, the amount of this substance hidden in foods rises

astronomically. Just because the name MSG does not appear on the

label, does not mean that the food does not contain the excitotoxin

glutamate.

 

" People should demand that the food industry, both restaurants and

food manufacturers, remove the added glutamate in all its forms from

anything we ingest, " John Erb states emphatically. " The fact that

they add it to make us addicted to their food is appalling enough,

but considering it is doing terrible damage to our children, for

that there is no excuse. The sooner these corporations are held

accountable for poisoning us, the sooner we can eradicate ADHD and

Autism from the maternity wards across the nation. "
