MSG and Hypothalamus Damage, Laboratory Mouse Obesity Studies
The discussion shifts to Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and its role in the modern obesity epidemic. Dr. Blaylock cites neuroscientist John Olney’s research, which demonstrated that MSG destroys the part of the hypothalamus responsible for weight control in mice. This damage makes it biologically difficult for children exposed to MSG to lose weight, as the chemical also triggers high levels of free radicals in the liver.
