For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Most of these junk foods contain msg (monosodium glutamate) which is marketed as a flavour enhancer, but is a dangerous addition to anything, that and aspartame - this is one piece of info I have on it=
I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo, and spent years working for the government.
He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called The Slow Poisoning of America. 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 a chemical 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".
Please read all labels carefully and avoid msg and aspartame.
here's the additives in all their glory....
