Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hidden Sources of MSGhidden sourceshttp://www.nomsg.com/sources.htmlWhile MSG in its pure form must be labeled, food manufacturers are aware thatconsumers have become savvy to the term, “monosodium glutamate," and are nowadding enormous amounts to our foods under devious and difficult-to-identifynames—with the Food and Drug Administration’s approval.When added to another ingredient (frequently the case with carrageenan, forinstance), the FDA does not require that MSG be listed as such on a label.Food labels are arranged in descending order of ingredient concentrations.The earlier an ingredient below appears on a label, the higher the likelihoodthat the food contains MSG.Definite Sources of MSGautolyzed yeastcalcium caseinategelatinhydrolyzed proteinsodium caseinateyeast extractPossible Sources of MSGtextured proteincarrageenanvegetable gumseasoningsspicesflavoringsnatural flavoringschicken flavoringbeef flavoringpork flavoringsmoke flavoringbouillonbrothstockbarley maltmalt extractmalt flavoringwhey proteinwhey protein isolatewhey protein concentratesoy proteinsoy protein isolatesoy protein concentratesoy saucesoy extractThis list is periodically updated by our members. Unfortunately, it isimpossible to provide an all-inclusive list because the food industry is alwaysinventing new labeling deceptions to confound consumers.We also suggest elimination of the excitotoxin, aspartame (Nutrasweet â„¢ etal.), from your diet, as many people who react to one also react to the other.It is also important to know that MSG can also be found (though not always)in vaccines, flu shots, IV solutions (as maltodextrin), and in vitaminsupplements. MSG is always present in any gelatin-encapsulated vitamin orsupplement. "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
