Monosodium Glutamate “MSG”, the poisoning of America.




Monosodium glutamate is one of the greatest threats to our health that we face today. What happened to all the signs in Chinese restaurants stating no MSG added? The Chinese restaurant industry is reducing the amount of MSG from its cuisine, while giant food corporations are adding MSG to theirs, to increase sales of their products.

At first, this does not sound insidious, all food companies want to improve their products, but MSG does not improve their products. MSG tricks the brain, and adds pleasure while eating.

The government outlawed subliminal advertising while watching movies at theaters. The subliminal images where used to trick the mind into wanting to purchase food from the concession stand.

MSG is even more insidious because it is used to trick the brain to continue eating  their product, so your brain may continue receiving pleasure signals, which of course, increases the amount the individual(s) will consume...

This is good for these food corporations, it raises their bottom line with very little cost, and they have created an additive following to continue purchasing their products.

Therefore, why don’t we just let the food corporation add some illicit drugs to their products to sell more food. This is what we are doing by allowing these corporations to add MSG to their food as a flavor enhancer, which has nothing to do with making their product better, but adding a chemical to have a direct effect on the brain to increase consumption of their food!

For example, you grab a bag of Bar-B-Q potato chips and of course, your favorite soft drink. The chips are not only salty, but they also contain MSG, causing the individual(s) to consume more of their product, which in turn causes the individual(s) to consume more sugary liquid than normal. This increases the calorie intake, adding to obesity and diabetic problems we are experiencing.

There are many more negative health issues caused by the ingestion of this chemical, such as headaches, sleepiness, and now researchers are thinking this may be some of the causes of some brain abnormalities, or at the very least exacerbate these brain disease, like Alzheimer and Parkinson, etc.
