Hidden sources of MSG in Foods

[Guest guest]

Back in the sixties we use to laugh when teachers said someday we will need to

go to a museum to see a tree. I wonder if they thought we might not even find

something that used to be so common people just counted on it - like clean air

and water - we called it the " truth. "

Hidden sources of MSG in Foods

What if someone were to tell you that a chemical (MSG) added to food could cause

brain damage in your children, and that this chemical could effect how your

children's nervous systems formed during development so that in later years they

may have learning or emotional difficulties? What if there was scientific

evidence that these chemicals could permanently damage a critical part of the

brain known to control hormones so that later in life your child might have

endocrine problems? How would you feel? Suppose evidence was presented to you

strongly suggesting that the artificial sweetener in your diet soft drink may

cause brain tumors to develop, and that the number of brain tumors reported

since the introduction of this widespread introduction of this artificial

sweetener has risen dramatically? Would that affect your decision to drink these

products and especially to allow your children to drink them? What if you could

be shown overwhelming evidence that one of the main ingredients in this

sweetener (aspartate) could cause the same brain lesions as MSG? Would that

affect your buying decisions? And finally, what if it could be demonstrated

that all of these types of chemicals, called excitotoxins, could possibly

aggravate or even precipitate many of today's epidemic neurodegenerative brain

diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, ALS, and Alzheimer's

disease? Would you be concerned if you knew that these excitotoxin food

additives are a particular risk if you have diabetes, or have ever had a stroke,

brain injury, brain tumor, seizure, or have suffered from hypertension,

meningitis, or viral encephalitis? Would you also be upset to learn that many

of the brain lesions caused by these products in your children are irreversible

and can result from a SINGLE exposure of these products in sufficient

concentration? How would you feel when you learn the food industry hides and

disguises these excitotoxin additives (MSG and Aspartate) so they can't be

recognized? Incredulous? Enraged? The fact is many foods are labeled as having

" No MSG " but in fact not only contain MSG but also are laced with other

excitotoxins of equal potency and danger. All of the above are true. And all

of these well known brain toxins are poured into our food and drink by the

thousands of tons to boost sales. These additives have NO OTHER purpose other

than to enhance to TASTE of food and the SWEETNESS of various diet products.

Hidden Sources Of MSG As discussed previously, the glutamate (MSG) manufacturers

and the processed food industries are always on a quest to disguise the MSG

added to food. Below is a partial list of the most common names for disguised

MSG. Remember also that the powerful excitotoxins, aspartate and L-cystine, are

frequently added to foods and according to FDA rules require NO LABELING AT ALL.

* Food Additives that ALWAYS contain MSG *

Monosodium Glutamate

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

Hydrolyzed Protein

Hydrolyzed Plant Protein

Plant Protein Extract

Sodium Caseinate

Calcium Caseinate

Yeast Extract

Textured Protein (Including TVP)

Autolyzed Yeast

Hydrolyzed Oat Flour

Corn Oil

* Food Additives That FREQUENTLY Contain MSG *

Malt Extract

Malt Flavoring

Bouillon

Broth

Stock

Flavoring

Natural Flavors/Flavoring

Natural Beef Or Chicken Flavoring

Seasoning

Spices

* Food Additives That MAY Contain MSG Or Excitotoxins *

Carrageenan

Enzymes

Soy Protein Concentrate

Soy Protein Isolate

Whey Protein Concentrate

Also: Protease Enzymes of various sources can release excitotoxin amino acids

from food proteins. Aspartame - An Intense Source Of Excitotoxins Aspartame is a

sweetener made from two amino acids, phenylalanine and the excitotoxin

aspartate. It should be avoided at all costs. Aspartame complaints accounts for

approximately 70% of ALL complaints to the FDA. It is implicated in everything

from blindness to headaches to convulsions. Sold under dozens of brand names

such as NutraSweet and Equal, aspartame breaks down within 20 minutes at room

temperature into several primary toxic and dangerous ingredients: 1. DKP

(diketopiperazine) (When ingested, converts to a near duplicate of a powerful

brain tumor causing agent) 2. Formic Acid (ant venom) 3. Formaldehyde (embalming

fluid) 4. Methanol (causes blindness...extremely dangerous substance) Common

Examples: Diet soft drinks, sugar free gums, sugar free Kool Aid, Crystal Light,

childrens' medications, and thousands of other products claiming to be 'low

calorie', 'diet', or 'sugar free'. A Final Note... Dr. Blaylock recounted a

meeting with a senior executive in the food additive industry who told him point

blank that these excitotoxins are going to be in our food no matter how many

name changes are necessary...
