MSG quotes
[back] MSG
[Vaccines] "The glutamate is in the hydrolyzed gelatin – which is at least 10% pure free glutamic acid – the most active form of glutamate."---Carol Hoernlein
The worst of the things they're doing are the soy extracts. Soybeans, naturally, have one of the highest glutamate levels of any of the plant products. When you hydrolyze it, you release the glutamate, such as with the soy protein isolates. The glutamate levels are higher than a lot of what you'll find in other MSG-containing products, yet the vegetarians are just eating it like it's the healthiest thing in the world. There was a 25-year study done, which looked at people who consumed the most soy products, and they followed them for 25 years and did serial CT scans of their brain. They found out that the people who consumed the most soybean products had the greatest incidence of dementia and brain atrophy. These people are destroying their nervous system, and I talked to a lot of them who complained of severe migraine headaches. I said, "Get off the soy," and they do, and that migraine headache goes away. In addition, you have very high manganese levels, which is toxic to the very same part of the brain that produces Parkinson's. You've got a mixture of toxins with soy products, and the people think they are eating a healthy, nutritious product. It's destroying their nervous system, as well as other organs.....I think people ought to avoid soy products as if they were poison. [pdf] An interview with Dr. Russell Blaylock
This MSG-induced obesity was characterized by a preference for
carbohydrates and an aversion for more nutritious foods, just as we are now
witnessing in our youth. Also, excess weight was extremely difficult to exercise
off or diet off in these experimental animals.

Since his early observation, other studies have confirmed that
MSG causes gross obesity in animals. At an international neuroscience meeting,
Dr. Olney was asked if he thought the reason Americans were so obese was, in
fact, due to their high consumption of MSG additives. The question was never
answered, but since that conference in the 1970s,
America has undergone this
virtual epidemic of gross obesity, especially among its youth.

With all of these endocrine malfunctions you would expect these
mice to develop abnormally, and they do. Consistently, the animals exposed to
MSG were found to be short, grossly obese, and had difficulty with sexual
reproduction. One can only wonder if the large number of people having
difficulty with obesity in the United States is related to early exposure to
food additive excitotoxins since this obesity is one of the most consistent
features of the syndrome. One characteristic of the obesity induced by
excitotoxins is that it doesn't appear to depend on food intake. This could
explain why some people cannot diet away their obesity. It is ironic that so
many people drink soft drinks sweetened with NutraSweet® when aspartate can
produce the exact same lesions as glutamate, resulting in gross obesity. The
actual extent of MSG induced obesity in the human population is unknown.

This also means that, while pregnant, mothers of diabetic
children also consumed very large amounts of these excitotoxin-containing foods.
Also, many parents feed their babies table food from an early age—food often
laced with large amounts of MSG. In addition, large numbers of babies are also
fed formula, and many formulas are known to be high in excitotoxins such as
caseinate. I have already cited studies showing that gross obesity is frequently
linked to excessive MSG consumption in test animals.

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.
Excitotoxins by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 89
In his experiments Dr. Olney
found that high-dose exposure to MSG caused hypoplasia of the adenohypophysis of
the pituitary and of the gonads, in conjunction with low hypothalamic,
pituitary, and plasma levels of LH, growth hormone, and prolactin. When doses
below toxic levels for hypothalamic cells were used, he found a rapid elevation
of LH and a depression of the pulsatile output of growth hormone. In essence,
these excitotoxins can cause severe pathophysiological changes in the central
endocrine control system. Many of these dysfunctional changes can occur with
subtoxic doses of MSG. One can speculate that chronic exposure to these
neurotoxins could cause significant alterations in the function of the
hypothalamus, including its non-endocrine portions.

Particularly disturbing is the later obesity after MSG exposure
during the neonatal and infant period even after only a short or limited
exposure.
In Bad Taste by George R Schwartz MD, page 22
The stress-induced abnormalities in blood-brain barrier
permeability suggest differing MSG effects dependent on existing states of
relaxation or stresses. The suggestive evidence for MSG-induced neuroendocrine
effects is substantial, coupled with the observation of increased obesity in
children.
In Bad Taste by George R Schwartz MD, page 39
The obesity effect of MSG in animals requires evaluation since
unexplained obesity is increasing in our population, along with hypertension and
diabetes. MSG-induced obesity in animals may carry long-term significance for
humans.

They fed animals aspartame throughout their lives and let them die a natural death. They found a dramatic and statistically significant increase in the related cancers of lymphoma and leukemia, along with several histological types of lymphomas, which is of interest because H.J. Roberts had written an article saying that there was a significant increase in the primary lymphoma of the brain. [pdf] An interview with Dr. Russell Blaylock
Now, one of the things we're hearing a lot about is childhood obesity. One early observation with exitotoxicity is it makes animals grossly obese...............Here the government has all these big plans for controlling carbohydrate intake and controlling cereals and sugar and all that. Those things add to the problem, because what we find in MSG-exposed animals is that they prefer carbohydrates and sugars over protein-rich foods. That was one of the characteristics of this type of obesity. It's very difficult to exercise the weight off and almost impossible to diet it off. The appetite is out of control, but the metabolism is also out of control. They have metabolic syndrome on top of obesity, and so then you have a state of leptin insensitivity.

I researched the subject every kind of way you can research it and proved the toxicity of glutamate. They know I know that, because I had exchanged letters with some of their biggest defenders. They all realized that they couldn't answer my arguments. So they leave me alone. They're afraid that if it comes to a big standoff between me and them, they're going to lose. Since I first wrote the book in 1995, proof supporting my viewpoint has increased enormously. The new material on peripheral glutamate receptors absolutely killed these people. They have no defense against that. The new information on the dramatic increase in cancer aggressiveness is something that they are terrified of. [pdf] An interview with Dr. Russell Blaylock
You know, they passed a law at one time in several states that no one but dietitians could speak on the subject of nutrition. Several states had that law passed. This meant Ph.D. biochemists couldn't talk about health. It was ridiculous. I'm sure that one day they're going to have an internet bill saying there's just too much dangerous material is coming over the internet on health issues, and we need to regulate it. [pdf] An interview with Dr. Russell Blaylock
Aspartame is not a necessary nutrient, and neither is MSG. The weight of the evidence is overwhelming. If you want to avoid obesity, metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, and if you don't want to make your cancer more aggressive, then you need to stay away from these products. The damage affects pregnant women, unborn babies and newborns. It can produce changes in the brain that are irreversible, depending on when it is stopped. What we've found is that it reprograms the wiring of the brain, particularly the hypothalamus, so it doesn't function normally. These children are abnormal for the rest of their lives in terms of their physiological function. [pdf] An interview with Dr. Russell Blaylock
