Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Causes
Weight Gain and More
Cut All MSG and MSG-Containing Foods Out of Your Diet
Caution – MSG can cause neurological and other problems, and that’s enough reason to stay away from it, but in addition, rats fed MSG became OBESE! In fact, scientists induce obesity in lab animals for experiments by giving them MSG! Almost all processed and packaged foods contain MSG, even if it is not clearly indicated on the label. Stay away from foods with the following ingredients: MSG, Monosodium Glutamate, "Natural" Flavors, Textured and Hydrolyzed Protein, and Autolyzed Yeast.
