THE SLOW POISONING OF AMERICA by by John and Michelle Erb
Is there a conspiracy in America to make Americans fat and take their money?

This book, "The Slow Poisoning of America" documents exactly that.

From a reader at amazon.com:

This is a book the government does not want you to read. It is a book major food corporations and argibusiness does not want you to read. This is a book Peter Jennings had three copies of and was never allowed to report on it for fear of offending the advertisers. It is a book you will unlikely be able to buy here or any place else until the word gets out.

The root of this conspiracy is if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic. John Erb has found the chemical and it is poisoning Americans by the millions.

John Erb was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo, in Ontario, Canada and spent years working for the government. He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals. In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies.

No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so the scientists have to create them. They make these morbidly obese creatures by injecting them with MSG when they are first born. The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats (and humans?) to become obese, they even have a title for the race of fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats." Thats Right MSG?

Something you can find in any kitchen. MSG is in everything! The Campbell's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays flavored potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Swanson frozen prepared meals, Kraft salad dressings, especially the 'healthy low fat' ones. The items that didn't have MSG had something called Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, which is just another name for Monosodium Glutamate. It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed our children everyday are filled with this stuff. They hide MSG under many different names in order to fool those who catch on.

So why is MSG in so may of the foods we eat? Is it a preservative or a vitamin? MSG is added to food for the addictive effect it has on the human body. Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby group supporting MSG at: http://www.msgfacts.com/facts/msgfact12.html explains that the reason they add it to food is to make people eat more.

A study of elderly people showed that people eat more of the foods that it is added to. The Glutamate Association lobby group says eating more benefits the elderly, but what does it do to the rest of us?

'Betcha can't eat just one', takes on a whole new meaning where MSG is concerned! And we wonder why the nation is overweight?

The MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their products. It makes people choose their product over others, and makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn't added. Not only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an addictive substance. Since its introduction into the American food supply fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and larger doses to the prepackaged meals, soups, snacks and fast foods we are tempted to eat everyday.

The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be added to food. They claim it's safe to eat in any amount. How can they claim it is safe when there are hundreds of scientific studies? Both the medical research community and food "manufacturers" have known MSG's side effects for decades. Many more studies are cited in this book that are shown by John Erb that link MSG to Diabetes, Migraines and headaches, Autism, ADHD and even Alzheimer's. The food manufactures are dumping fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity epidemic we now see.

Even as you read this, George W. Bush and his corporate supporters are pushing a Bill through Congress. Called the "Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act" also known as the "Cheeseburger Bill " this sweeping law bans anyone from suing food manufacturers, sellers and distributors. Even if it comes out that they purposely added an addictive chemical to their foods."

Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of the highest government health officials in Canada. While sitting in the Government office, the official told him "Sure I know how bad MSG is, I wouldn't touch the stuff!" But this top-level government official refused to tell the public what he knew. The big media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing legal issues with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout on the fast food industry may hurt their profit margin.

This is the book government does not want you to read. Reading this book could save your waistline and your life. The chemical sweeteners and flavor enhancers have too many toxic side effects to ignore.

Recently, the authors wrote a report proving that MSG causes Obsity, Diabetes, and Autism which has been read by a team of scientists both at the Canadian Government and at the World Health Organization. They could not prove a single thing to be inaccurate but are are sitting on it for the economic backlash that would be caused by informing the public.

While on a trip, a group of arsonists set fire to the author's house, barn, historic Cooper building and garage. No one was hurt but all material prosessions were destroyed.

Mr. Ebb says, "Was it worth it, losing everything to get the word out about the dangers of MSG? My wife and kids don't think so. But I believe that our work will get out to many and help save more people from so many ailments."
