Looking to find a possible cause for obesity, migraines, cancer, or male sexual reproduction issues?  How about juvenile asthma, blindness, shortness of stature, or damage to unborn children?

 The good news is that you may already know about MSG.  The bad news is that you don’t, because the problem is much worse than imagined.  And once informed, the real dilemma is how to determine which food products contain this deadly product – and which don’t.

 MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a taste enhancer, used to cover up the bland tastes of food and make them more appealing to consumers.  It is a chemical compound defined as an excitotoxin, (note the two word derivatives “excite” and “toxin”).  It is also a substance that overexcites neurons to the point of cell damage, and eventually, cell death.  And according to Dr. R. L Blaylock, MSG enters freely into the brain, creating a lesion in the hypothalamus that correlates with abnormal development, along with possible development of some, or all of the health issues mentioned above.

 MSG has been used in food and beverage products for several decades and despite industry knowledge of the serious and detrimental affects on humans, there is now more than ever a blatant deception towards the consumer.  Manufacturers are aware of the MSG stigma, so to hide this damaging chemical and to continue its’ wide usage, they simply disguise its’ existence by giving it other names.  Here is the rub – MSG is often disguised on the ingredient list with harmless sounding names such as “yeast extract”, “gelatin”, “minced barley”, “rice syrup”, “hydrolyzed proteins” or the latest disguise under the name of “torula yeast”.

 This deception is all but criminal since baby food manufacturers, responding to public outcry, willingly removed MSG from their products decades ago.  And just as disturbing is the fact that many “healthy” and “all-natural” foods are in health food stores today, loaded with chemical taste enhancers in the form of yeast extract (MSG).

 Unfortunately neither the Food Drug Administration (FDA), nor private industry has agreed with regulations affecting usage of the term “all-natural”.  For example wheat is commonly stripped of all nutrients, bleached with chemicals, then manufacturers “enrich” the flour with synthetic chemical vitamins, then packaged and sold to the uninformed as “all-natural”.  The same with fruits and vegetables, as they are injected with chemical ingredients, processed salts, then fried at high temperatures using a human-invented process, to then be once again labeled as,,,,,,,,,“all-natural”.  This also applies to juices and candy snacks, all of which are labeled as all-natural, to entice parents into buying something “good / nutritious” for little Billy and Suzie.

 Why are food and drinks still labeled natural?  Truth is, that because if it comes from the earth, manufacturers are still able to say it was grown by nature.  Blatantly deceptive at the least, the American food system is in many ways a criminal scam by codes of decency and good nutrition, particularly good nutrition.

In watching out for the nutrition and health of your family, pay special attention and watch for “MSG” in vegetarian food products such as veggie burgers, vegetarian mixes, soups, salad dressings, as well as tortilla and potato chips.  Also notorious for the usage of MSG are certain restaurants – quite often Chinese food -  so it is always a good habit to ask prior to being seated/served – “do you use MSG?”
