The International Food Information Council
(IFIC)
You many have noticed increased activity from the International
Food Information Council (IFIC). They have the ear of industry,
clout with government officials, and a name that doesn't give away the
fact that they have been paid handsomely over the years to promote a number
of questionable substances -- including caffeine, BST, sugars, Colors,
MSG, and aspartame. We first made their acquaintance in 1991 when
the "Communications Plan" they prepared for
the glutamate industry, which detailed the steps they would take to kill
the upcoming "60 Minutes" program on MSG, or how they would respond to
it if they couldn't kill it, arrived anonymously in the mail.

IF MSG ISN'T HARMFUL, WHY IS IT HIDDEN?
