"Natural Flavors" are anything BUT

We've all heard about MSG (monosodium glutemate).  Most of us have assumed that it is a substance unique only to Chinese food and maybe a few vending machine goodies.  NOT the case.  MSG is found in ALL restaurant food, all processed foods, even some vegetables are "washed" in MSG water.  Meat bought in the grocery store is often pumped with MSG to keep it plumper (not to mention the various other compounds found in meat).  Don't be fooled.

What is MSG?


In order to really understand what MSG is, you need to first understand the chemical combination of the substance and WHY it is a hazard to your body and overall health.  MSG is essentially a sodium atom attached to the amino acid, glutemate.  The problem is that our bodies recognize the protein molecules as building blocks, even though processed glutemate, such as this, is NOT like the one our bodies produce!  Therefore, they are an allergen, a toxin, that the body does not readily recognize and can damage our DNA.  It makes our body (first triggered by our tongues) that we are ingesting a true protein, which in turn signals the pancreas to create and release insulin.  This creates low blood sugar and makes us hungry all over again.  Please read more on this site and research for yourselves.  Remember, educating yourself gives you power over your own health, something that the FDA and USDA are less concerned about than you might think.

MSG is a neurotoxin that is virtually a poison to us.  It was introduced by the Japanese in the 40's as a way of masking tasteless food and making your brain think it tastes better and "healthier."  We now know it tricks the brain in other ways that leads to many health problems and obesity.  Please look at this website for more information and feel free (as I've said before) to research this yourself.  Educating yourself about MSG and other chemicals in food that help keep America unhealthy is your best defense and weapon against growing and upcoming epidemics that we live and will continue to face.
