MSG, THE SILENT KILLER (It Adds Weight Too)

MSG, THE SILENT KILLER (It Adds Weight Too)

 

I was shocked to look into my kitchen, checking the cupboards and the fridge to

find 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 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 an expose by John Erb of the food additive industry called The

Slow Poisoning of America.

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 that say

otherwise.?

Thanks for the list, even though, well, if one is trying to avoid

msg, that pretty much rules out everything at all processed. I

didn't know what hvp was, and I just bought a bottle of vegetarian

oyster sauce that advertised on the bottle " no MSG " yet has hvp in

it, which is interesting since its the same thing! Why isn't MSG on

labels more often if it is in so many of the ingredients listed?

Because I can't think of anything processed I've bought that hasn't

had at least one of those in it, and I thought I was making a point

not to buy anything with MSG in it.

I hate to sound cynical, but corporations just care about profits and satisfying

their shareholders. We, the public are just too passive. We are dumbed down by

the advertising media.
