MSG INDUCE DIABETES IN 5 DAYS

“MSG, if administered at doses of 2 mg/g dose, can produce all the signs of diabetes, along with pathological changes in pancreas, within just 5 days”, researchers say. 

They observed following biochemical changes in mice models of MSG induced diabetes. “These changes were not different from changes occur in diabetes in humans, at all”, they explain.

Biochemical changes include;

• ·         Severe obesity
• ·         Urinary glucose
• ·         Hyperglycemia
• ·         Hyperinsulinemia
• ·         Decrease in glucose tolerance
• ·         Decrease in insulin sensitivity

These experimental animals were developed a severe hypertrophy of pancreatic islets due to excessive beta cell proliferation. (Animal’s and human’s insulin hormone is secreted by beta cells of pancreas). 

So, this method is used by researchers to make animal models diabetic within a short time, while humans continue adding tons of this debatable chemical, into their food chain.
