Trying To Lose Weight? Forget About It, Unless You Stop Eating This!
I do a lot of research on health and nutrition and nothing makes me madder than the food industry intentionally, without my permission and yours, producing food that causes you and I not only to be addicted to it, but makes us fat! They do this by adding MSG to just about everything we eat!
I admire people like John Erb, who was a research assistant at the University of Ontario and wrote the book, ?The Slow Poisoning of America?, as one of the many people blowing the whistle on MSG. The subject of MSG is not new, but not enough attention is being paid to it and the food industry is certainly not going to tell you about it because they are making too much money from it.
MSG is so pervasive in our society that you may not be aware that you are consuming it daily. It is in processed foods, canned, frozen or boxed, restaurants and fast food chains. My husband and I were shocked to find MSG in almost all the vitamin supplements we had. Most consumers are not aware of it because we are being tricked with labeling.
MSG has many aliases. Here is a list of some of the other names for MSG:
-Monosodium glutamate, monopotassium glutamate, glutamic acid
-Anything that says hydrolyzed (such as hydrolyzed vegetable protein)
-Anything that says Autolized
-Anything that says natural flavor, or flavors, natural flavoring, flavorings
-Calcium caseinate
-Sodium caseinate
-Yeast extract
-Seasonings
-Soy protein, wheat protein, whey protein, anything fortified protein
-Textured protein
-Carrageenan
-Gelatin
-Soy sauce
-Bouillon, pork, chicken, beef
-Barley malt, malt extract, maltodextrin
-Enzymes
-Corn syrup, corn starch, dextrose
-Citric acid
You may be asking how it is possible that MSG can come under so many different names. The FDA has stated that if you use MSG in a product it must be labeled that way. If you use for example; hydrolyzed vegetable protein (which has MSG in it) it must be labeled by its common name and not MSG. This is the loophole the food industry uses to hide the word MSG.
Studies done over the last 30 years on rats have consistently shown that MSG makes them fat. Rats are not naturally fat so it has to be created. The studies done showed up to a 40% increase in appetite in the rats fed with MSG.
It works like this. Your tongue has receptors to detect sugars, carbohydrates, fats and protein, and it is used to determine if actual food is in your mouth. The food industry has figured out that MSG fools the taste receptors into thinking it is going to be receiving protein or sugars etc, so now your pancreas now goes into action releasing insulin to do its job. Within half an hour to an hour you have a blood sugar drop and you want to eat again. So you eat more food with MSG and you continue this circuit over and over again. And don?t forget to check your diet foods, which are usually loaded with MSG.
True weight loss is achieved by the few who have true stamina and will power because for the rest of us, well, the odds are stacked against us. The food industry wants you to buy their food and keep you addicted and keep you gaining weight because now companies can jump on the band wagon and get you buying weight loss pills and prescription drugs. Is there MSG in the diet and prescription pills? The odds are very high that this is the case.
If you have struggled with weight and health issues without success, don?t just give up hope yet. Education is the key. It is up to you to decide what you want to do with this information. For my husband and I, we have given up MSG and we eat organic. I have lost 20 lbs to date and feel great. There are some reputable companies that produce superior products without MSG and pesticides and it is worth seeking them out and supporting their efforts while getting you and your family healthy.
I hope this helps!
