MSG Anyone? I was emailed some information on Monosodium Glutamate!!!
"John Erb who was research assistant at U of W researched "MSG" for his book The Slow Poisoning of America, MSG IN MOST COFFEE
The food additive MSG (MonoSodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as "Natural Flavoring."
If you are one of the few who don't believe what John Erb has to say, see
for yourself. Go to the National Library of Medicine at www.pubmed.com.
Type in the words "MSG Obese" and read a few of the 115 medical studies that
appear.”
No Genetically Modified Foods!!

"How to Avoid GM Food
There are currently eight major GM food crops on the market, so memorizing this list will help you avoid any and all food products that might contain GMO’s:
- Soy
- Corn
- Cottonseed (used in vegetable cooking oils)
- Canola (canola oil)
- Sugar from sugar beets
- Hawaiian papaya
- Some varieties of zucchini
- Crookneck squash
You’ll also want to avoid any kind of derivative of these, such as high fructose corn syrup, for example.
Depending on where you live within the European Union, you may also have to contend with the recently approved AmFlora potato, designed by BASF, which contains a gene that produces an enzyme which can confer resistance to several antibiotics. The European Commission approved the commercial growing of the GM potato in early March of this year, despite widespread protests, and concerns raised by the EU’s pharmaceutical regulator.
Part of the potato is also allowed to be used in cattle feed, and the meat will not need to be labeled as GM.
Your best bet to avoid genetically modified foods is to take advantage of local sources of organic foods as often as you can. Remember, some 75 percent of processed foods contain GM ingredients, so you’ll want to avoid as many processed foods as possible." {From a mercola.com article}
