Recognizing MSG in products




We've all heard the buzz about the harmfulness of MSG. MSG is a toxin also known as Monosodium Glutamate. Symptoms from exposure occur similar to an allergic reaction, and can effect every system in the body. Its important to cut this dangerous toxin out of our diet, but where to start?
Here is a list of ingredients where MSG is hiding:
  • Monosodium Glutamate
  • Hydrolyzed Proteins
  • Autolyzed Yeast
  • Yeast Extract
  • Caseinate
  • "Natural Flavors" (If an ingredient can't be listed, they're hiding something!)

Products that commonly contain MSG are processed and not part of a clean diet. For a list of products and restaurant items that have MSG visit http://www.3fatchicks.com/4-foods-commonly-containing-msg/. If one of your favorite products contains MSG, limit yourself. (I personally hate completely depriving our body of a craving/certain food).


Hope this helps jumpstart a healthy diet! Thanks for visiting!
