A silent killer
that's worse than alcohol, nicotine, and drugs is likely lurking in your
kitchen cabinets and even your child's school cafeteria. It's monosodium
glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer that's known widely as an addition to
Chinese food, but that's actually added to thousands of the foods you eat.
In this telling three-part video series, you'll find out why Dr. Russell Blaylock, a board-certified neurosurgeon,
describes MSG as a dangerous excitotoxin, and learn how this toxin could be
making you fat.
MSG is used in
countless foods in your supermarket, local restaurants, school
cafeterias, and more. Everything from soup to crackers to meats may contain it
because MSG, as dangerous as it is, makes food taste good and it is dirt cheap,
just like sugar.
Incredibly, even
infant formulas and baby food contain this poison, even though babies and
infants, who are four times more sensitive than adults to the toxic effects of
this chemical, are the most at risk.
There are a couple of main reasons why MSG is one of the worst food
additives on the market. First, as Dr. Blaylock, author of the highly
recommended Excitotoxins:
The Taste that Kills, says in the
video, MSG is an excitotoxin, which means that it overexcites your cells to the
point of damage, acting as a poison. The second part of the equation is that
MSG can be literally hidden in food labels, under names like broth, casein,
hydrolyzed, autolyzed, and more, making it extremely difficult to identify.
MSG is also a
probable cause contributing to the obesity epidemic. As the FDA continues to
vouch for its safety, scientists have known that MSG causes obesity since the
1960s!
It is clearly not
worth a few bites of tasty junk food to give your body the green light to
produce visceral fat, the most dangerous type that surrounds your organs and
increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, insomnia, type 2 diabetes, and
more.
Yet, that is
exactly what you're doing when you eat foods that contain MSG.
Eliminating MSG from your diet is a wise choice for everyone, including
pregnant women. To do so, stick to natural, unprocessed foods. And, if you do
eat processed foods, be on the
lookout for the many hidden names for MSG on food labels. They include (but are far from limited
to):
§
Gelatin
§
Hydrolyzed
Vegetable Protein (HVP)
§
Yeast
Extract
§
Malted
Barley
§ Rice Syrup or
Brown Rice Syrup
The dangers
surrounding MSG are, perhaps, most concerning for new moms who are unable to
breastfeed, and are looking for an alternative to the MSG-laden infant formulas
on the market. Fortunately, women who are unable to breastfeed can make
an extremely nutritious, MSG-free infant formula for their
baby using raw milk.
