MSG directly causes obesity, diabetes, triggers epilepsy, destroys eye tissues, is genotoxic in many organs and is the probable cause of ADHD and Autism. Considering that MSG’s only reported role in food is that of ‘flavour enhancer’ is that use worth the risk of the myriad of physical ailments associated with it? Does the public really want to be tricked into eating more food and faster by a food additive?","author":"John E.

After all, just in the last decade or two we've somehow found the time in the day to spend several hours on the internet and the money in the budget not only to pay for broadband service, but to cover a second phone bill and a new monthly bill for television, formerly free. For the majority of Americans, spending more for better food is less a matter of ability than priority.

They want nothing to do with it. Provenza pointed at his hand, then his arm and body, and said, 'Every organ and every cell has receptors similar to what's in your nose and on your tongue.' Creatures communicate within their environment the same way they communicate within their own bodies -- through chemical trigger substances that bind to receptors and produce responses. 'It's all part of a feedback system,' Provenza said, 'that tells the body what's good and what isn't.'Goats are not stupid after all. They don't bumble through the world eating what they were born to like. They experience need states, satisfaction, and delight along with aversions to strong a mere hint of something can make them turn away in disgust. Flavor is what nutrition feels like to a goat. If goats had a word for delicious, it would have two meanings. The first would be: I like this. The second would be: This is what my body needs. For goats, they are the same thing.","author":"Mark Schatzker","tags":["delicious","flavor","food","goats","health","instinct","nutrition"],"id":5436,"author_id":"Mark+Schatzker"},{"text":"Balance your body for better results.
