[philacoudre]

I just wanted to add something: I researched Wikipedia for each ingredients just mentioned in my last comment (below): for each of them, It's never mentionned to be linked to MSG or being a substitute of MSG. So I have reserves on what you are saying Mrs@quantumsolace.

I was born in early'80s, had received all my vaccines and eaten a wide variety of food (though mostly homemade in early life).I've never been overweight and never diagnosed with autism or ADHD,my testies seem normal too... xD

[philacoudre]

I looked up my pint of OrganicSoyMilk (SoNice, made in Vancouver): It contains carrageenan and vitamin D!

Another brand,Natura Organic chocolate Soy Milk (made in quebec),which can be shelved at room temp: contains calcium carbonate, xanthane gum, vit.D

Looked up my Liberte 0%fat yogurt (made in Quebec,which is the one that has the less crap ingredients in,though not Organic): it has Sodium Caseinate in it.

It seem it's in EVERY processed food, even Organic.

[philacoudre]

@philacoudre

P.S. I tried drinking Organic soy milk 10yrs (on suggestion of my phys.teacher, after a health-oriented class), and adding it to whole grain organic cereals. Thought it tasted great and stick with it ever since! I drank a glass of regular 2%milk a few months later: it tasted foul.

Did you know milk cows are given ormones to increase yields, making milk a potential risk...

Wow, now there's no option left!

[cptnibler]

I met John tonite, just on chance being employed in a tourist market and must say, I was really impressed with his knowledge on the same things Ive been interested in the last couple years of my life. said I would look him up and this is the first video I came upon. I ve known for quite some time that MSG was not a good thing, but never from the consumer side of things, always from the seller. It amazes me how "THEIR" plan can take on so many faucets and yet keep the mainsteam so blind.

[missfairyass]

good video

[PhenomXmanifestO]

MSG is bad, no doubt and true. Going to the government with this issue ??? Think... maybe msg is not the the real problem, maybe the real problem is the ones that use it against you - and you go to them so to ask them politely to quit it ??? Good luck Charlie! While at it, if Satan is so bad to you, make a complaint to his assistant! Folks, it comes down to this: personal responsibility. Don't buy their stuff personally as you don't need others to join you. Best of all - stay deluded as usual.

[GSpotter63]

I watched as my 40 year old mother’s health slowly degraded over a 10 year period (asthma, arthritis, migraines, fibromyalgia,) ending in a massive allergic reaction. An extensive autopsy showed that she was allergic to MSG and its derivates. As more MSG was added to products over time she just got worse. I wander how many others suffering similar symptoms could have the same cause.

[sollostyles]

@wheelalligator Sorry to break it to you bud but artificial MSG is so concentrated that it destroys your neurons and causes a host of potentially fatal diseases and reactions. Do some more research and read some medical studies and you will see the truth.

[randomgeneralrandom]

ok but this substance exists also in tomatoes, peas, chicken, corn etc. so what's the new thing about it as an additive? is it so much more concentrated? i also read that our organism produces it. so it must be vital... we don't even produce vitamin c like other animals do....

[finefilth]

Lab rats are injected to make them obese for experimental purposes....MSG is more stealth poisoning by the food giants and their sister monopolies

[clmarion]

@finefilth Ah, so you're familiar with the animal protocol methods for such experiments are you? You've actually read the latest peer-reviewed scientific publication, located and understood the means by which lab rat obesity is induced? Then I imagine you've read the research articles detailing the physiological mechanisms by which this obesity occurs? Any citations to share? I'm curious if they match my own list of references. But I'm curious about one thing...

[clmarion]

@finefilth ... Given the average mouse life span is 24 months (females are sexually mature by 4 weeks). (see rmca.org). Similarly, the average rat life span is 24-36 months (females are sexually mature by 5 weeks). (Ibid). Don't you think it's... how shall we say... "not physiologically relevant to humans" that to make these animals "obese" by 90 days old they *inject 4g/kg body weight daily, for 1 week, starting from their day of birth*!?

[clmarion]

@finefilth ... Now, humans are ~3,000 times larger than mice and the basal metabolic rate per gram of body weight is 7 times greater in mice than in humans. (See PMCID: PMC1369270). So wouldn't these animal experiments be equivalent to injecting a new human baby (avg. weight = 7 lbs or 3 kg) with ~2 grams of MSG, then repeating every day thereafter (adjusting for weight increase), until the child reaches ~1/4 the age of puberty (avg. weight = 31 lbs or 14 kg) which = an 8 gram injection of MSG?

[clmarion]

@finefilth ... How do you think that would affect a child's development? How do you think they'd feel? Better? Or worse?

[finefilth]

@clmarion

its probably responsible for the epidemic of obese kids we have in this country.. being a fat slob during the school years is a very painful experience

[clmarion]

@finefilth I'll admit, I haven't taken sufficient time yet to read enough of the latest research on the possibile association between MSG and human childhood obesity. A quick scan of Pubmed shows a lot of conflicting studies (which I hate) because it means everybody's using different experimental protocols and/or reagents. Of course, the funding source for each study would also need to be checked. Finally, the physiological concentration, method and age of exposure to MSG is also a critical...

[clmarion]

@finefilth ...factor. A comprehensive assessment of the data needs to be reviewed (one may exist but I haven't the time yet to do a search for it - but I will find it if it exists and share it with you.) Finally, and this goes without saying, all of these experiments are being done in rodents and it's rather surprising how often models from inbred labstrains of mice DO NOT correlate with results in humans. A search for long-term longitudinal studies in humans is something else I'll look into.

[clmarion]

@finefilth Thanks for your comments. My recent criticism owes to my experience with academic research publishing. Science, sadly, still has to "sell" - it's how one gets funding. A reason I went into research was my loathing of business/sales. I thought science was free of that and I was wrong. Scientists aren't immune to sensationalism so when I read the MSG-induced obesity protocols I was pissed to discover the supraphysiological doses used on newborn mice needed to get the published effects.

[finefilth]

@clmarion its always about the money and the advancement of the money powers agenda...sometimes we are naive and believe otherwise

[clmarion]

@finefilth Agreed. The level of greed in today's business is staggering in it's immorality. But, humans DO have a specific taste-bud receptor for glutamic acid. The evolutionary explanation for that I haven't investigated (i'll ask my friend who's an anthropology grad student to give me a plausible cause.) So I don't blame industry for trying to sell their products by making them taste better but if there are negative physiological consequences to that then something must be done. I'm just ....

[finefilth]

@clmarion

what wacky system we live in!!! 

[clmarion]

@finefilth ...not sure we have enough data yet to support definitive action either way. As I said, a lot of these experiments showing MSG messes you up are uses superphysiological doses. Just ridiculous. I mean if I injected you with 100g of pure raspberry jam I don't think you'd fare too well either. Anothe great example of this is quantumsolace's rant in part 2 of this video where she discusses MSG in vaccines! Wow. The dose in an MMR shot is infinitesimal.

[clmarion]

@quantumsolutions: "Something about the broth was unnaturally delicious." So you first thought is conspiracy? Funny.

I've indicated elsewhere, our tongues have a specific taste receptor for glutamic acid. The resulting signal transduction cascade triggered by that impulse signals to the brain that you're eating and your body begins the biochemical preparations and responses to the process.

You make it sound as though if something tastes great it must have MSG and therefore be killing you. LOL.

[clmarion]

@quantumsolace: ... Enhanced insulin sensitivity caused decreased lipolytic activity and enhanced glucose uptake. The enhanced lipogenesis seen in the adipose tissue disturbs the balance between fat deposit breakdown and accumulation, favoring the latter."

So, naturally, it's only logical to extrapolate that humans ingesting ~100 times less MSG per day (only a few hundred mgs/day) (see: foodandhealth.(com)/cpecourses­/msg.(doc)) will become obese and that's what's wrong with this country. Bravo.

[clmarion]

@quantumsolace ... (that's like injecting your 1 month-old baby [~4kg] with 16 grams (or 0.6 oz) of MSG, everyday, for their first week of life. How do you think that's gonna work out? Think'll it make'em better? Or worse? Well here's what happened in the rats:

"Neonatal treatment with MSG caused obesity in 90-day-old adult rats. The MSG-treated rats demonstrated low body weight, normal food intake, fasting hyperinsulinemia, and glucose intolerance. ...

[clmarion]

@quantumsolace: I'm sorry, I could be here all night pointing out some of the wonderfully imaginative conclusions you (and your friends) have jumped to but I really need to finish writing this publication I'm submitting tonight. However, I can't let this last one go:

Fat rats on MSG. (See, e.g., PMID: 21042817; and PMID: 11319642). Read the research? They gave *newborn* rats (1 day old) *daily* *direct injections* of 4g/kg of body weight of MSG...

[clmarion]

@quantumsolutions: Would you mind providing some citations to peer-reviewed research with definitive data supporting your assertion that "MSG is addicitive"? Thanks.

[clmarion]

ATTENTION: As detailed in the thread discussion mentioned below you'll find that "quantumsolutions" statement in this video (@0:35) that MSG "somehow tricks your brain into thinking it tastes better" is magnificent it it's biological ignorance. "The trick" is that your tongue contains the taste bud receptor for glutamic acid called mGluR4 (See PMID: 17468883). Like your other taste buds it merely signals to the brain that you are eating.

[clmarion]

ATTENTION: I invite everyone looking for scientifically accurate, and up-to-date information on monosodium glutamate (MSG) to visit the comments section of another equally flawed video regarding the "dangers" of MSG:

youtube.(com)/watch?v=ExyNf3u7­iQg

All the items listed in this video (@2:10) are NOT synonymous with MSG per se. Rather some (e.g. soy extract, whey protein, casein, gelatin) are WHOLE proteins - a fraction of which consists of glutamic acid.

[Pienvde]

OMG, I didn't know about the other ingredients like hydrolyzed vegetable protein. Actually, I almost eat nothing else than the food I make myself to avoid all the spooky ingredients. I don't need them. And now people are still wondering why people are suffering from cancer or heart disease. And you're also right about when it tastes too good to be true you must be wary.

[clmarion]

@Pienvde "Hydrolyzed vegetable protein" does NOT have monosodium glutamate (MSG) in it, it MAY however however glutamic acid in it. What's glutamic acid? Oh, well it's only one of the most prevalent amino acids found in virtually all proteins. It's perfectly natural. Our bodies use it as a neurotransmitter.

Like other MSG paranoids, quantumsolutions implies that these ingredients are entirely composed of MSG and are merely labeled in a different manner so as to confuse the consumer. ...

[clmarion]

@Pienvde ...and this is simply not true. Glutamic acid (again, a naturally occurring amino acid found in virtually ALL proteins) is just one of 20 amino acids used as subunits in building proteins. In gelatin for instance? 12% of the protein contains glutamic acid. In the milk protein casein? 22% is glutamic acid.

During digestion in the human gut, ALL proteins (with a few exceptions) are broken down into their amino acid subunits and then absorbed into the body. The body has MANY ways...

[clmarion]

@Pienvde ...to handle this influx of amino acids; especially glutamic acid: 1) metabolism into newly synthesized proteins; 2) metabolic conversion using a dozen different mechanisms for conversion into OTHER amino acids; 3) degradation via the urea cycle; and last but not least, 4) controlled access to the brain via selective transport across the blood brain barrier. This my friends is called "digestion" and human physiology is a wonderful thing.

[clmarion]

@Pienvde Stop. Please. Just because something "tastes good" it doesn't mean it's toxic and destroying your brain. The OPs comment about how: "Tho soup just tasted too good" (or something to that effect) was just hilarious in it's simplemindedness.

Here's some scientific facts you should (and don't worry, they're simple): 1) glutamic acid is a naturally occuring amino acid used to build virtually every know protein (your body makes it, and you need it to live); 2) amino acids link together...

[clmarion]

@Pienvde ...to make proteins; 3) there are roughly 20 amino acids (some your body can synthesize, others it cannot and must be obtained from food; 4) together these amino acids make up all the proteins in your body; and 5) virtually every protein you ingest is degraded in your guy into it's individual subunits (i.e., amino acids) and the amino acids are absorbed into your system. THEREFORE, any "protein" ingredient on your food label will most certainly have glutamic acid in it...

[clmarion]

@Pienvde ...in your gut, or in solution, MSG (which = glutamic acid + sodium) and glutamate (which = gluatmic acid + hydrogen) are IDENTICAL! All that's different is MSG releases a sodium ion while glutamate releases a hydrogen ion. In the end, both leave you with the same product: glutamic acid. So, whenever you eat protein, you're likely ingesting glutamic acid amino acids. Now remember I said proteins get chopped in the gut? Well "hydrolyzed protein" is protein already chopped up. That's it.

[clmarion]

@Pienvde ...Last, but not least, is this: when quantumsolutions, and the individual she cites in part 2 of this comic book series (John Erb), give you the "magic list" of all the "secret names" MSG is called they're either lying or grossly ignorant of the amino acid composition of those proteins. For example: (and I've said this elsewhere) (values = total glutamic acid % of protein) gelatin = 9.5%, whey = 17%, casein = 21%, soy = 19%, and yeast = 13.5%. Take home message? ...

[clmarion]

@Pienvde ...Contrary to the video at 2:08, "MSG can still be slipped into all these different foods ... under 100 different names", this is misleading and chemically false. It's misleading for the reason I just posted: the composition of these "different names" is NOT 100% glutamic acid. And it's false because MSG is the SALT form of glutamic acid, and not found in proteins. This is a minor point (the active molecule is glutamic acid), but I mention it because it highlights her lack of detail.

[lizardsundoor]

I NEVER said university research did not have it's benefits. I said many, many studies are flawed when there is big money behind them. LISTEN TO ME AGAIN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! BIG MONEY=BIAS

Be it politicians seeking contributions or universities getting government money.

If there is a huge profit to be made then there will be one. Hence the desire to swing the pendulum to their liking.

And YOU my friend need to get a reality check to the power of money over honesty.

[crystalidx]

How will I drink milk without drinking MSG with it?

[thrustfang]

@crystalidx

Milk does not contain MSG. It contains naturally occurring glutamate, whereas MSG is merely a stabilized form of glutamate. I don't think you've done your research.

[crystalidx]

@thrustfang Lol, you think MSG is dangerous because of ingestion? The reason is because its a drug. And the definition of drug is a substance that affects the function of the neural systems. It hurts you even before it goes into your intestines.

[thrustfang]

@crystalidx

I think your definition of the word 'drug' is at odds with basically everyone in the field of medical science. Not all drugs are neurological, or are you claiming that antibiotics somehow cure infections by giving your brain temporary superpowers?

You know, I probably wouldn't be surprised if you think iodized salt is a drug, either.

[crystalidx]

@thrustfang Well depends on what you define a drug.

[thrustfang]

@crystalidx

Apparently yours differs from pretty much everyone else's, most importantly being the scientific community's definition. In the broadest sense, a drug "is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function". There is no credible evidence whatsoever to support MSG as being a 'drug' under this definition, thus I conclude you're using a wildly different definition, one you're apparently unwilling to state.

[thrustfang]

@crystalidx

"It hurts you even before it goes into your intestines."

This is a rather vague statement. Are you aware that MSG, when dissolved in water/saliva and digested, basically breaks down into free sodium and glutamate? How exactly does this 'hurt' you when the sodium and glutamate are chemically identical to what you'd be getting if you ate a naturally occurring food source containing glutamate with a bit of table salt sprinkled on?

Please provide citations for this claim.

[crystalidx]

@thrustfang That's rather simple. when the tastebuds sense MSG, the excited neurons fire excess pleasure transmitters to the point that they die. Exotoxins.

[thrustfang]

@crystalidx

Exotoxins? You can't even get your terminology correct (here's a hint: it's called 'excitotoxins'), not to mention the fact that you've failed to provide any citations for this claim.

To address your claim, experimenters commonly use single 4 mg/g doses of MSG to induce robust excitotoxicity in lab animals. For a 75 lb child, the equivalent dose would be almost 5 ounces of pure MSG at once, which is nigh impossible to consume through normal foods. We're talking massive doses.

[thrustfang]

@crystalidx

You also don't seem to understand that MSG breaks down into sodium and glutamate on digestion, which means that functionally, it digests the exact same as does naturally occurring glutamate (with a bit of sodium added, which you'd find normally as well from plain salt). Basically, it's not the chemical that counts, it's the dosage. Even water is toxic at massive doses.

[thrustfang]

@crystalidx

While children probably shouldn't consume too much glutamate, what counts as 'too much' is already far more glutamate than a normal person would consume in a day, even if all they ate was processed food. You'd need to dump a staggering amount of MSG on your food in order to even potentially experience any adverse effects. This is much like aspartame, where in order to even exceed the daily recommended intake, you'd need to drink a whopping 21 cans of diet coke in a day.

[crystalidx]

@thrustfang What's the point of that when you said it doesn't matter because the organic structure breaks down into non-harmful components.

[escapee78]

@thrustfang No, you don't need a staggering amount in a single day.

What about 21 cans of diet coke in 21 days ? What about 365 cans of diet coke in a year ? Does the industry care about the accumulative effect of MSG ? no they don't. They care about money. MSG is like refined sugar or HFCS, highly refined craps that make people get addicted to their product and get sickened eventually. I bet you work for the industry....

[clmarion]

@crystalidx Er... no. Your brain, and in fact your entire nervous system, has well defined regulatory mechanisms to downregulate over-stimulation at neuronal synapses. Why? Well, without then you're right, everytime we got really excited, really upset,or really scared, well... our neurons would overloade and die. Doesn't make sense eh? That's because cells monitor the rate of signal transduction from cell-surface receptors and downregulate their sensitivity as necessary to avoid overstimulation.

[clmarion]

@crystalidx So no... when the mGlu4 tastebud senses the carboxyl glutamic acid cation (not the undissociated MSG molecule mind you) it initiates a synaptic response to various regions of the brain to signal to the body to prepare for the ingestion of food. Now some of that neural signalling may occur using glutamate, but it's not the glutamate that immediately ingested. That gets sent down into the gut for processing like everything else.

[clmarion]

@thrustfang Dude... you and I are stangers in a strange land. It's hard to deal with all these grossly misinformed people. Message me when you can because I think we'd accomplish more together.

[clmarion]

@crystalidx This statement is frightening in it's ignorance. Please, I beg of you, go back to school (night school if you have to; or a community college) and take some really basic science classes like introduction to chemistry, biology, physics. Start off easy and build on a solid foundation. I assure you, you'll see the world in a new light. I beg this of you only because nothing, ABSOLUTE NOTHING, in the three lines you wrote makes any sense whatsoever. I wish I could convey that to you.

[clmarion]

@crystalidx This is one of the most fantastically inaccurate scientific passages I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I had a student one year in my sophomore molecular biology class who only showed up for 10% of the classes and even his final exam answers contained nothing so ridiculous. My God, even a philosophy major would cry out of laughter at the poor logic. Even if you knew NOTHING about biology/chemistry (and that's a real possibility, phrased in the abstract your post is illogical.

[RandyBful1]

It's so refreshing to see videos where the author actually knows what they're talking about. GMOs, MSG, artificial sweeteners, chemical dyes...all processed and fast food is POISON. The corporations play so many DECEPTIVE games with advertising and labelling; it's like a 100% WHOLE WHEAT cereal, or bread, or...where the SECOND ingredient is HFCS! Time to wake up - globally! Did you know, the globalists even put MSG into the H1N1 vaccine?!

[thrustfang]

@RandyBful1

I think your definition of a 'poison' is at odds with what the rest of the world considers to be a poison. You're basically making broad, sweeping generalizations about ingredients in foods, when a lot of the stuff you're talking about appears on the GRAS list, as well as having acceptable intake levels.

[grannygoodfood]

Amberen is a supplement for menopausal women that is being promoted widely on the internet. The third ingredient is MonoSodium L-Glutamate! This pill was created by Russian scientists, and I wonder if they are the same Russian military scientists who did the RU-21 hangover pill. Is this safe for humans? ONE safety trial was done --by the manufacturer-- on only 32 women. There were two trials done on rats, for 4 weeks and 6 weeks. For hormone problems, try ElanVital by Source Naturals.

[wheelori814]

your videos are sooooo great, you should check into balancing male hormones, i have been trying to get my brothers to eat better and letting them know the importance of getting enough vitamins and minerals (especially b's and iodine/iodide in their diets. They are soooo deficient that they are just down right mean, worse than most women that have pms. I have even read that people diagnosed with schizophrenia have vitamin/mineral deficiencies.

[lizardsundoor]

I am pro pioneering like in this video one hundred percent which is what TRUE science is all about anyway. But your so called double blind studies talk extremely lacks merit since many of these "so called studies" are done at universities (let me define this for you for a minute............. FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS) or through GOVERNMENT GRANTS (Whose interests are these best for?) Where there is big money and profit to be made there is bias. Always have always will

[thrustfang]

@lizardsundoor

So basically you think universities have never done anything useful for the world with their research because they're funded by grants? I think reality would like a word with you. Besides, the peer-review process is designed to weed out any cases of bad science due to bias.

[lizardsundoor]

@thrustfang

PEER REVEIWED PROCESS????????????!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we all know of when people get in groups there is a need to follow what authority tells us to be even if we know it to be incorrect. It is like this. Say you have spent a hefty sum and intense time and study on an education and you are in a lab and you KNOW the data is flawed. Are you going to be the whistle blower and risk your career, your house, your wife, etc. Just to speak the truth and seek justice.

[lizardsundoor]

@thrustfang

OF COURSE NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most think of their OWN reputation/a** over doing the right thing. Who wants to risk all they have worked for to speak up against wrong doing? I am sorry, but just like with anything else. Money seems to rule thought/action and there are just not many breakthroughs because we don't seem to want to tap into anything truly radical anymore. There is to much at stake in terms of possible $ loss to want to really go any deeper than we currently are.

[thrustfang]

@lizardsundoor

Sorry, I appear to have misjudged you for a somewhat rational person, or at least a sane one. Judging by your excessive use of ALLCAPS and exclamation/quotation marks, it's painfully clear there's not going to be any reasoning with you. It's sad that you're unaware that the scientific method of peer-review is the whole reason you live in a high standard of living, and have technology like computers and the internet.

Worried about msg in baby formula? If you are unable to nurse your baby, you can make baby formula from goat's milk, filtered water and a little black-strap molasses (very high in iron). The recipe is on Dr. Sears website. I adopted a baby, so I could not nurse. He was not doing well on any of the formulas, so I researched natural formula and found this. He is now a healthy, very athletic little boy.

[amirsurfer]

MSG, also known as free glutamic acid, is the synthetic, toxic version of the harmless, natural occurring glutamate, which exists in certain vegetables and cheeses, among others. Arrogant fool!

[thrustfang]

@amirsurfer

MSG is merely a form of glutamic acid that's been stabilized with sodium. When digested, it breaks down into sodium cations and glutamate anions, the glutamate anions being exactly the same chemically as what you find in naturally occurring substances like tomatoes. If something is chemically identical, it works exactly the same whether or not it is a natural or synthetic source. I don't think you're getting this.

[amirsurfer]

@thrustfang

Just because it has the same chemical structure DOES NOT mean that it is safe! This is the same argument that those supporting bovine growth hormone and genetically modified produce use to legitimize these toxic substances. It is absolutely delusional to believe that we can replicate natural substances found in nature without harmful effects on our bodies. Please read ''Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills'' by Dr. Russell Blaylock, a board certified neurosurgeon.

[amirsurfer]

@ thrustfang

Dr. Russell Blaybock explains how MSG is an excitotoxin, which means that it overexcites your cells to the point of death and thus acts as a poison. It is also most likely a factor in the rising obesity epidemic we have in this country.

When you ingest foods that contain this toxin, your body produces visceral fat, the most dangerous kind. This kind of fat increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes and insomnia, just to name a few.

[amirsurfer]

@thrustfang

Do you think it is mere coincidence that MSG is present in nearly every junk food item and is the core ingredient at EVERY fast food restaurant? Do you think it is mere coincidence that high end restaurant chefs avoid this toxic substance at all costs?

[clmarion]

@amirsurfer Wow dude, you could not be more wrong. MSG is not "synthetic" but made quite "naturally". Check it: ajinomoto.(com)/amino/eng/prod­uct.html

Gluatamate is glutamic acid + hydrogren, MSG is glutamate + sodium. That's it. Sophomore biochem pop-quiz: in solution both compounds dissociate into the same glutamic acid cation but one releases hydogren and the other sodium. That's it! Their activity is exactly the same. One is not anymore toxic than the other.

[robertwc82]

i dont think MSG tastes better and i definetely find aspertame disgusting

[WeThePeopleRleaders]

@robertwc82 i dont have MSG and Aspertame in my diet and aspertame has a strong after taste thats gross. i didnt realize that my yogurt i just got and immediately spat it out bc it had aspertame....its sooo gross.

[RandyBful1]

@WeThePeopleRleaders: Beware; they're changing the name of aspartame to aminosweet! Also, in many products, they replace it with acesulfame potassium, which is the same thing, then say: NO ASPARTAME!

Well, a synthetic garbage form of vitamin D3 is what is added to the milk.---unless they have changed the name to D2 since I was last in the states.

We shouldn't even call it 'Vitamin' as it is life robbing rather than life enhancing. Only the natural forms deserve the name 'vitamin' so thanks for pointing that out.

Point blank, man will never improve on the Creation of Nature. It is our opportunity to learn how to live in vibrant harmony and joy with it.

We're getting there. Peace.

i am veggie, am going RAW now, nuts, seeds, fruit and veg, with herbal teas as from this friday. you have convinced me i read all labels but this msg is hard to get away from

[quantumsolutions]

Yes, it's everywhere!!! I even found it in Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea labeled as flavouring. I was so mad I just threw the box away in disgust.

And that Soy Lecithin is in just about everything processed. Even in health food stores. Soy holds a good connotation in most people's heads as does lecithin.

And now with GM veggies and fruits, we've got to start growing our own. And then all we have to worry about are the chem trails.

This can't go on much longer. Something has to give.
