The #1 Ingredient That Makes You Fat (NOT SUGAR)

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a dangerous ingredient that’s making you fat and damaging your health. The FDA classifies this ingredient as GRAS, which means “generally recognized as safe.”

Monosodium glutamate, also known as MSG, is a flavor enhancer. Studies have shown that it causes obesity, diabetes, metabolic problems, and a fatty liver in mice, so how can it be safe for humans?

Monosodium glutamate overstimulates a part of the hypothalamus that regulates the balance of hunger and satiation. It prevents the utilization of energy and also affects fertility. The average daily consumption of MSG is 590 mg to 2330 mg. Some people consume up to 5000 mg in one day! Consuming carbs and MSG together accentuates its effects.

Not only does MSG contribute to obesity, but it may also cause headaches, allergy symptoms, irritability, sleeping problems, and dizziness.

Many people consume hidden MSG unknowingly. If there’s less than half a gram of MSG in a product, it’s not required to be listed as an ingredient!

Foods high in monosodium glutamate include the following:

•Instant noodles

•Chips

•Flavored popcorn

•Canned soups

•Bouillon cubes

•Processed meat

•Fast food

•Seasonings

•Salad dressings

•Frozen dinners

•Gravy

•Appetizers

•Flavored crackers

•Canned vegetables
