The
\nTaliban is Not Hiding in my Kitchen, but MSG is<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Harrell Graham\n<\/p>\n

Big
\nPharma already had an array of drugs which could produce just about
\nany desired effect. Need to stay awake? No problem, we’ve got
\ndrugs for that. Go to sleep? Take your pick. Need to lose weight?
\nHere, swallow these. We’ve also got drugs to help you urinate,
\ndefecate, lower your blood pressure, raise your blood pressure.
\nLower your cholesterol, raise your blood sugar, lower your blood
\nsugar, raise your insulin, lower your insulin. Raise your libido,
\nlower your chances of getting pregnant, increase your chances of
\ngetting pregnant. Feeling sad and blue? Here, we’ve got an
\narsenal of pills for you…take your pick: uppers, downers,
\nin-betweeners, mood-elevators, crazy reducers, erection inducers.<\/p>\n

We
\ndid mention, didn’t we, that we have pills to decrease your
\nappetite. Need to lose weight? Sure, we’ve got drugs for that.
\nBut wait. There is one thing we’ve not yet mentioned. The close
\nobserver will note that we
\ndidn’t mention that we have a substance to make you eat more<\/strong><\/u>.<\/p>\n

If
\nmonosodium glutamate (MSG) really is–according to Dr. Russell
\nBlaylock, MD– “like fertilizer for cancer” then why haven’t
\nwe, the American people, been warned by the Food and Drug
\nAdministration (FDA), which we pay with our hard-earned tax dollars,
\nto protect us from poison in our food?\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The
\nresearch shows MSG not only makes us fat, it makes kids stupid, and
\ncauses headaches, central nervous system damage, infertility, heart
\ndisease, depression and cancer.  \n<\/p>\n

‘Flavors’,
\n‘natural flavors’ ‘yeast extract’ & ‘hydrolyzed
\nprotein’ are only a few of the names under which MSG is hidden. If
\nwe can’t get angry over a government that knowingly allows this
\nnoxious stuff to be hidden in much of our food, well, then something
\nis very, very wrong.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Righteous
\nanger is a good thing, if put to constructive use, and if ever there
\nwere a time calling for constructive anger, this is one of those
\ntimes.  Our government has allowed the food companies to profit
\nfrom the money we hand over to them in the grocery stores for food
\ncontaining MSG that they knew would harm us in multiple ways. 
\nYes, that’s right, you’re paying the food companies to give you
\neverything from headaches to cancer, and the MSG makes you stupid in
\nthe process.  How elegant–a food additive that makes us
\nconsumers stupid and depressed while it is killing us so we don’t
\nknow or care enough to fight back.<\/p>\n

  \n<\/p>\n

And
\nhow did the Christian Broadcasting Network News (CBN News)—not CNN,
\nNBC, ABC, CBS, New York Times, etc, etc—beat all other mass media
\ninvestigative journalists to the punch with their amazing video
\nexpose? (see below)  Even books purporting to be critical
\nexposes of the American diet, such as “Fast Food Nation”, missed
\nthe ‘MSG connection’.   \n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yet
\nthe information that CBN exposes has been known for a long time. 
\nWhy has it taken so long to come out to a mass audience?  The
\nreason is because most newspapers, television and radio stations are
\ndependent on advertising dollars from corporations.  They stand
\nto lose millions in advertising revenue If they do truthful stories
\nabout harmful products their corporate sponsors sell.  The
\nsecretive MSG industry—which includes most food companies because
\nthey put this poison (usually hidden) in their products–is in the
\nmany billions of dollars, but apparently CBN isn’t beholden to any
\nof them because, I suppose, CBN doesn’t need their money.  I
\nlaughed out loud as Pat Robertson picked up popular food products
\ncontaining MSG that he found in his kitchen, held them in front of
\nthe camera, and said “These are all destined for the garbage can.” 
\nYou won’t see that<\/u><\/em>
\non most news shows!\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nyou care about your health and the health of those you love, please
\ntake the time to click on the links below, then click on the ‘Play’
\nbutton.  (Each segment is not long.)  And, if you don’t
\nget angry after watching this series—after you learn how you have
\nbeen a lab rat of the highest profitability–well, maybe you need to
\ntake a different kind of anger management class, or cut back on
\nProzac.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please
\nnote that the ’60 Minutes’ show from 1991 was the first and last
\nexpose done by any major media outlet. The producer of 60 Minutes
\nsaid that 60 Minutes had never experienced such heavy industry
\npressure on any program during ’60 Minutes’ time on television.
\nAfter the 60 Minutes show twenty years ago there has been a deafening
\nsilence from the media about this toxic chemical. No stories. None.
\nNada. They don’t dare to jeopardize all their advertising revenue
\nfrom the food companies!\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

And
\nwhy do the food companies put this stuff in as many products as they
\ncan?  Because it makes people eat more than they otherwise would
\nand thereby boosts the profits of those food companies.  Having
\nessentially no taste of its own MSG has, however, the startling
\neffect when mixed with food of stimulating the nerves and brain to
\nmake it seem like something ‘exciting’ is happening in the
\nmouth.  It makes you eat more, faster.  Furthermore,
\nthrough damage to the hypothalamus and\/or due to a lowering of
\nglucose levels, the resulting feeling of hunger also makes one eat
\nmore food than is needed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This
\nis a sad way to make an extra buck.  I mean, we would still buy
\nthese food products without the MSG—we’re hungry, after all. 
\nBut to deliberately poison us just so they can sell a few million
\nmore cans of soup, protein bars, pizzas and sandwich meats?   It
\nis my sincere desire that enough people wake up and stop buying these
\npoisonous products thereby causing all the guilty fat-cat food
\nexecutives to at least lose their stock options.  Maybe they’ll
\neven have to go directly to jail without passing ‘Go’.  And
\nfrom their jail cells they can contemplate all the harm they’ve
\ndone while wishing they had never sold their souls for a bigger stock
\nprice.   <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because
\nif companies knowingly harm customers those companies are liable not
\njust for damages, but for treble<\/em>
\ndamages.  If you think the multi-billion dollar damage awards
\nwere big in the tobacco lawsuits just wait till some heroic attorneys
\ntake up the battle cry for MSG.  Hollywood, please start taking
\nnotes now so you can prepare the sequel to “The Insider”, the
\nRussell Crowe\/Al Pacino movie about tobacco.    <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If
\nour government can’t protect us from basic assaults like greedy
\nfood companies profiting from our painful demise, then what good is
\nthat government?  The Taliban is not hiding inside my kitchen,
\nbut MSG is.  This is what we pay our government to do—protect
\nus.  Okay United States Government, do the job we, the people,
\nelected you to do–protect
\nus<\/em>. 
\nYou can start by requiring the food companies to put on labels the
\npresence and amount of MSG rather than allowing them to hide it under
\ncode words like “flavors” and “natural flavors”.  This
\nway we can at least have a choice in the matter.  Is that too
\nmuch to ask of the government which wants us to get all teary-eyed
\nevery time we hear the lyrics “the home of the brave and land of
\nthe free”?\n<\/p>\n
