HIDDEN SOURCES OF PROCESSED FREE GLUTAMIC ACID (MSG)

[Guest guest]

There are a couple of graphs here which did not turn out very well on

email - you can see them at the url.

I also have this on a Word document; if anybody would like it , email me

HIDDEN SOURCES

OF PROCESSED FREE GLUTAMIC ACID (MSG)

http://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.htm

 

NAMES OF INGREDIENTS THAT CONTAIN ENOUGH MSG

TO SERVE AS COMMON MSG-REACTION TRIGGERS

 

The MSG-reaction is a reaction to free glutamic acid that occurs in food as a

consequence of manufacture. MSG-sensitive people do not react to protein

(which contains bound glutamic acid) or any of the minute amounts of free

glutamic

acid that might be found in unadulterated, unfermented, food.

 

These ALWAYS contain MSG

 

Glutamate Glutamic acid Gelatin

Monosodium glutamate Calcium caseinate Textured protein

Monopotassium glutamate Sodium caseinate Yeast nutrient

Yeast extract Yeast food Autolyzed

yeast

Hydrolyzed protein

any protein that is hydrolyzed

 

These OFTEN contain MSG or create MSG during processing

 

Carrageenan Maltodextrin Malt

extract

Natural pork flavouring Broth Malt

flavouring

Bouillon Natural chicken flavouring Soy protein

isolate

Natural beef flavouring Ultra-pasteurized Soy sauce

Stock Barley malt Soy

sauce extract

Whey protein concentrate Pectin Soy

protein

Whey protein Protease Soy protein

concentrate

Whey protein isolate Protease enzymes Anything protein

fortified

Flavours(s) & Flavouring(s) Anything enzyme modified Anything fermented

Natural flavor(s) & flavouring(s) Enzymes anything Seasonings (the

word " seasonings " )

 

In ADDITION...

 

The new game is to label hydrolyzed proteins as pea protein, whey protein,

corn protein, etc. If a pea, for example, were whole, it would be identified as

a pea. Calling an ingredient pea protein indicates that the pea has been

hydrolyzed, at least in part, and that processed free glutamic acid is present.

 

Disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate are expensive food additives that

work synergistically with inexpensive MSG. Their use suggests that the product

has MSG in it. They would probably not be used as food additives if there were

no MSG present.

 

MSG reactions have been reported to soaps, shampoos, hair conditioners, and

cosmetics, where MSG is hidden in ingredients that include the words

" hydrolyzed " and " amino acids. "

 

Low fat milk products often include milk solids that contain MSG.

 

Drinks, candy, and chewing gum are potential sources of hidden MSG and of

aspartame. Aspartic acid, found in aspartame (NutraSweet), ordinarily causes MSG

type reactions in MSG sensitive people. Aspartame is found in some

medications, including children's medications. Check with your pharmacist.

 

Binders and fillers for medications, nutrients, and supplements, both

prescription and non-prescription, enteral feeding materials, and some fluids

administered intravenously in hospitals, may contain MSG.

 

According to the manufacturer, Varivax-Merck chicken pox vaccine (Varicella

Virus Live), contains L-monosodium glutamate and hydrolyzed gelatin both of

which contain processed free glutamic acid (MSG) which causes brain lesions in

young laboratory animals, and causes endocrine disturbances like OBESITY and

REPRODUCTIVE disorders later in life.

 

Reactions to MSG are dose related, i.e., some people react to even very small

amounts. MSG-induced reactions may occur immediately after ingestion or after

as much as 48 hours.

 

Note: There are additional ingredients that appear to cause MSG reactions in

ACUTELY sensitive people. A list is available by request.

 

Remember: By FDA definition, all MSG is " naturally occurring. " " Natural "

doesn't mean " safe. "

 

We would like to hear from you if you have found additional MSG-reaction

triggers.
