How does MSG cause obesity?
MSG - monosodium glutamate - is an excitotoxin - just like "innocent" aspartane.
According to Dr. Russell L. Blaylock in his book Excitotoxins, it is a substance that overexcites neurons to the point of cell damage and, eventually, cell death.
"Early exposure in life to high doses of glutamate, or the other excitotoxins, could theoretically produce a whole array of disorders much later in life, such as obesity, impaired growth, endocrine problems, sleep difficulties, emotional problems including episodic anger, and sexual psycho-pathology."
It is used by food manufacturers as a taste enhancer - to cover up the bland tastes of manufactured foods and make them more appealing to us. But they don't want to list MSG on the labels, especially when they know that consumers will avoid purchasing products that list MSG.
So, instead they hide MSG in another ingredient called "yeast extract" and then they put yeast extract in the product and list it openly on the label.
How stupid are we - beware!
