What Russ mentioned about MSG being used in restaurants is a good point,.

I always feel bloated when I eat at salad bars or potato chips. MSG is a cheap preserver- so all the restaurants and corporations like to use it.

Beware when you see the word "spices" listed on labels. ITs not kitchen cabinet spices as we know it. The FDA has given food companies permission to use "Spices" as a general term for when a company cant list all the extra chemicals they add to a product because there is no more label room for printing. The word "Spices' is a term that enables them to still remain "legal" when they dont list all the ingredients. MSG is often not listed on a product because it is hidden under the term "spices".

Here is a list I copied of all the nice little names they use for MSG without having to come out and say it is MSG they use:

* Autolyzed yeast
* Calcium caseinate
* Gelatin
* Glutamate
* Glutamic acid
* Hydrolyzed protein
* Monopotassium glutamate



* Monosodium glutamate
* Sodium caseinate
* Textured protein
* Yeast extract
* Yeast food
* Yeast Nutrient
