Most of us have known for a very long time that MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) is not good for us. What hasn't been clear though is "WHY NOT?" Food consumers have also been in the dark as to how widespread its use is. Chinese take-out joints have a bad rep but, honestly, they are the least of our concerns. The average person's kitchen cupboard is FULL of MSG-loaded products...and they don't even know it!
The long and short of it is that MSG is addictive, and is used for exactly that purpose. Food addiction, of course, causes obesity, and MSG has also been linked to diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD and even alzheimer's. Since 1978, MSG has been used in obesity studies on rats (because a rodent does not naturally develop the addictive behavior that leads to obesity). The National Library of Medicine houses over 115 studies demonstrating its ill effects, yet the FDA has set no limits on how much MSG can be added to food. Larger and larger doses of MSG continue to be added to pre-packaged foods that we are enticed to eat everyday - soups, snacks, fast foods, sauces, even coffees! What's more is that it hides behind over 25 different names (including "Natural Flavoring," renedering consumers completely unaware of the poison they are digesting!

I used to watch the Jetsons as a child and wonder why they did not eat - a pill was dispensed from a machine to simulate the dish they desired. For the life of me I could not imagine any advance in technology that would make me want to substitute delicious food for a pill. Now I understand... |

ONE MORE REASON TO BE HAPPY.....
Happiness is not only infectious, it's downright hereditary!
While external factors certainly contribute to our happiness, a new study shows that half of it lies within our genes. I guess that means happy people make happy babies. So...if you plan on making one (or several if you're using In vitro) - be happy! In fact, just be happy anyway :-)

KNOW A STROKE WHEN IF YOU SEE ONE
Someone sent me this a while back. I thought it was worthwhile to pass on. If we all know a little more maybe we can help save each other's lives....
STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently, i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately!! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
