Eating poison what you did not know?

The article below is not intended to cause panic does not mean that you're going to die from eating something that is listed, but is a warning to pay attention to what we eat, everything in excess is bad.

What is Mono Sodium Glutamate?

Is a food additive which is used almost half a century ago, which is obtained through a fermentation process of some products such as sugar cane or some cereal, then it undergoes a refining process is obtained wherein Mono sodium glutamate in its purest form.

This substance has been discarded in various countries such as U.S. or Canada, the latest discovery of this "flavor enhancer" is making stem cells, themselves, stem cells, which cause your body to keep you refreshed and allow live longer. To which we, this additive makes no less than fat cells. In short it makes a person obese if you think you are eating very healthy. It does this even eat little and you exercise, your body is already intoxicated.

An example of this is Mexico, which has become the country's number 1 in obesity in the world, and that's where they eat tons of this additive.

Continuing with any more information, not only at the level of obesity is bad this product because other causes collateral damage is excessive intake of sodium in the body, which the vast majority know which hurts both hypertension as the retention. The problem is that we consume too much without realizing the fact, as it is in many products, in different proportions, in products labeled "healthy" and is very, very easy to exceed the limit allowed without control over what we eat.

Rat fed normally left, right rat fed daily with Mono Sodium Glutamate, right rat died 3 days after cardiac arrest.

Natural

GMS is found naturally in tomatoes, mushrooms, some vegetables, such as broccoli, kombu seaweed and milk. It is also found in some fermented foods or tanned, such as cans of tomato paste and some cheeses, is a salt that occurs when mesclar glutamic acid and salt. In this way unprocessed natural and essential part of the protein, L-glutamic acid is harmless to humans.

Why is it toxic?

Glutamic acid is one of the amino acids that make up proteins. In nature, the glutamic acid is bound to other amino acids by binding peptides. When a person eats a protein substance, these bonds break slowly in the digestive process. When ingested pure MSG, glutamate makes a quick impact. This free glutamate is deflected because there are no links to slow the peptides. The rapid increase of glutamic acid in the body causes rapidly absorbed, thus increasing the normal level of blood glutamate in the eight to ten times the usual amount. A flavor enhancer differs from a condiment that can enhance existing flavors without adding its own flavor. Therefore, the MSG appears to increase the sensitivity of the taste buds and sensory receptors in the mouth and stimulates shock, basically an oral aphrodisiac. It also acts on the intestinal muscles, blood vessels and brain.

A recent concern has arisen about the observations glutamate from where it acts as excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. A neurotransmitter is a substance that stimulates cell activity of the brain.

What is the effect?

The effect is a flavor enhancer, highlight the flavor of a particular food 30 times or more without altering it with his own, sausages contain it, instant soups, frozen pizzas and packaged almost anything, the reason is worst use raw materials for processing, flavor enhancer do the rest.

What foods contain MSG or E-621?

Snacks soups and various brands 

Maruchan

Chicken flavor cubes

Ketchup (some of them)

The investigation began in Asia

In Chinese restaurants or Japanese discovered that some customers began to suffer various disorders that affect their health and that later became known as the Chinese restaurant syndrome consisting of headache, eye irritation, blurred vision, tachycardia excessive sweating, generalized itching, diarrhea and asthma, among other symptoms.

Medical studies find you that MSG or also known by many as AJINOMOTO

 had a toxic effect on nerve cells and favoring obesity and infertility. That is, the innocent soups can cause asthma and obesity.

Investigating more

Another thing worse was discovered later, by heating the soup, as is customary in the polyethylene container in the microwave, plastic packaging and release a substance called dioxin (causes cancer). The food industry has discovered how easy, fast and inexpensive to take a good step cancer and make you obese.

Why are there more obese people in the XXI century?

Because food pre packaged foods and additives was much more healthy market was at the table, obesity has always existed and are attributed to many factors, but it has always been the most viable diet misguided.

Because you keep fat if you eat healthy, you play sports and you kill yourself in the gym, may be due to your daily intake of MSG in not knowing which is filling you with fat cells.

Did you know?

Mono sodium glutamate was used in infant formula for children but their use was banned, for obvious reasons is a known toxin yet even permitted food use, just not for newborns or infants who drink milk.

A new study, conducted at the University of Hirosaki in Japan led by Hiroshi Ohguro, relates the Mono sodium glutamate consumption with possible loss of long-term vision, which can lead explains retinal lesions and an increase in cases of glaucoma.

This additive, besides being harmful is addictive, developing a voracious appetite, so much so that in some cases are used in foods for older people with anorexia. (Remember the phrase you can not eat just one)

Bush in 2005 passed a controversial law called the law of the cheeseburger which protects the food industry of possible civil suits for obesity, even if discovered some addictive chemical in their products all this looking to end the many demands Obesity civilians in the country of USA.

¡INCREDIBLE!!!.. Peruvian gives solution to the global energy crisis

Sixto Fernando Ramos, a blind peruvian engineer of 63 years, rose to fame this week in his country after receiving an international award for creating a system that could solve the global energy problem by multiplying the force generated by a engine as many times as they want.

With the "force multiplier system", an invention he devised 15 years ago, as it lost vision, this humble engineer won the bronze medal in the category of mechanical and industrial processes of the fortieth edition of the International Exhibition of Inventions held in Geneva (Switzerland) last week.
Ramos told Efe that his system is "capable of moving a boat with the engine of a car" and is based on two parallel axles whose centers are connected to the end of filming a bar connecting the two, in turn, contains in the middle two shootings "descéntricos" varying its center of gravity.
This allows the application of movement on one axis, the other rotates in reverse and "return the force times the first, which also generates an external force that can magnify" if you connect other side to repeat the same action .
"It's that simple. You create an action and reaction. The force transgressest the other axis, then multiply, and so continuously, "Ramos said simply.
The system is exponential because "an engine of a horse can be multiplied by twenty, and then, for forty to have 800 horses," since it depends on variables such as wheelbase, mass, diameter, eccentricity and direction, that "the greater, the greater the increased strength."
Its simplicity is in classical mechanics, with the lever of Archimedes and the parallels of Tales: "It varies the gravity of a body to fall and the force of falling increases with a lever for transmission to the other axis. It's like Kung Fu. Using the opponent's strength to overcome it, "he said.
Ramos conceived the idea 15 years ago, when the disguised hydraulic pump and the other engineers in his company were unable to understand its operation to remove it.

But its applications go beyond a water pump, a car or a tractor, and that "could be applied to power plants, hydroelectric or wind mills" that would increase their power to make "the madness of power the wind mill move to other mills. "
"This can reduce the cost of desalinating or purifying water," added the engineer, who said that "you can save the planet if we all only because ideas change the world."
"With the beginning of the multiplier benefit all developing countries have cheaper energy and advanced energy would solve their problems because they are dedicated to optimizing the fuel, but had forgotten to optimize the mechanics, where there is a link that escapes "he said.
Ramos confirmed that a university in Germany, which in 2011 scheduled to close its nuclear plants, has been interested in your project, but said he first wants to develop in Peru "because there is not profit but service."
The blind engineer was late to Geneva for the jury to review his invention, which was behind a robotic hand and a marble cutter, but the interest among the participants convinced the judges to award the bronze medal.

7. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, or about 2 hours.

8. Juice the orange and limes and reserve juice. Place the molasses, sugar, orange rind, lime rinds, orange juice, lime juice, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon cloves, and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring. 

9. Lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until mixture thickens slightly. The consistency should be similar to pancake syrup, and it will thicken more as it cools. Strain to remove the orange and lime rind and spices. 

10. When the dough has risen, heat the oil in a pot to 350. 

11. Wet your fingers in salted water. Form the doughnuts by grabbing a small handful of dough and stretching it into a ring around around a couple of fingers, then tossing the dough quickly into the oil. Cook briefly, 20 seconds or so, and then flip the doughnuts using the handle of a long wooden spoon.

12. Cook the doughnuts in the oil until they are golden brown (about 30 seconds longer), then remove them to a paper towel lined plate.

13. Serve immediately, drizzled with the warm syrup.
