If you\u2019ve seen one creative combination of brain-washing and out-and-out lies, you\u2019ve seen them all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this article that appeared in Food Safety Magazine<\/em> is special. Special because Andrew G. Ebert signed his name to it. To appreciate why \u201cWhatever Happened to Sound Food Science\u201d is so special \u2013 so poetic — you have to know that Andrew G. Ebert was Ajinomoto\u2019s \u201cscientist\u201d in the United States rigging studies of the safety of MSG so that his researchers could claim \u201conce more\u201d they had been unable to find anything that suggested MSG was toxic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read all about Big Food\u2019s friend \u201cAndy Ebert\u201d on our webpage<\/a>. We call him \u201cThe Architect of it All\u201d because he did just about everything for Ajinomoto short of manufacturing the MSG. He not only designed the rigged research for them, but put together a committee of esteemed \u201cscientists\u201d who walked his protocols over to the offices of the FDA and had them approved by the agency before the studies were published. Ebert faded from sight, and there were no more double-blind studies after Jack Samuels, co-founder of the Truth in Labeling Campaign, ratted on him. That\u2019s how the Glutes do it. No apology. Not even discussion. Just ignore the evil things you\u2019ve done and hope that no one will remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read Ebert\u2019s bio and note three things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew G. Ebert, Ph.D., FIFT, CFS, is a noted food industry pharmacologist and toxicologist. He has served as an official observer at numerous meetings of the Food and Agriculture Organization\/World Health Organization Codex Alimentarius Food Standards Programme and is on the Expert Committee on Food Ingredients of the Food Chemicals Codex. He previously served on FDA\u2019s Food Advisory Committee.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, Ebert is everywhere, a man of good reputation, serving on committees of organizations like the World Health Organization (and testifying to the fact that MSG is \u201csafe\u201d); he has served on the FDA\u2019s Food Advisory Committees (in a position reserved for consumers); and nowhere does it mention the fact that for years he was chairman of Ajinomoto\u2019s International Glutamate Technical Committee, running their U.S. research arm while Richard Cristol ran their merchandising\/propaganda campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
