Re: Monosodium Glutomate

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Well we talk about things here that are making us sick. Mostly indoor air

quality. But, after starting this new way of eating-and a couple of you

telling me read labels before I buy it. I have been doing so. To my

suprise, I am horrified by what I had been feeding my children and myself.

I was on a hunt for lunch meat. Well, I found it. But, it took me 15

different brands to find one. And out of those 15, 10 had monosodium

glutamate.

My son asked if he could have a treat today for his lunch like chips. So, I

went to the store to look. I started reading ingred., and found that

monosodium glut., in several of them, and the one he used to take everyday.

Was able to find some baked items, with ingred. I understood, but even some

of those had MSG.

Looked at the back of the ranch dressing I had been sending him to dip his

healthy carrots in, it also had MSG in it.

So, my kids healthy lunches that I use to send was-ham/turkdy ($8.99 a lbs)

w/MSG, ranch w/MSG, chips w/MSG. I would have never believed this in a

million years. Guess the lunches were not all that healthy back then.

Not only are the things we breath making us sick, but geez the food isn't

all that great either.

But, who would have known if some of you wouldn't have warned me.

Thank you,

Found this from when we went MSG/chemical free in 1999. My son was 10,

mold & vaccine injured - months from being in a wheelchair. Going

organic, clean food & household products made a big difference.

Another source of MSG is vaccines - used in any live virus vaccine as

a food source to keep the virus alive. Vaccines also contain many

other toxic elements - like mercury, aluminum, formaldahyde, yeast,

etc. check out this website for ingredient info.

HIDDEN SOURCES OF MSG

June 1, 1995

Food label descriptors that contain enough MSG to serve as

common MSG-reaction triggers

These ALWAYS contain MSG:

Glutamate Textured protein

Monosodium glutamate Hydrolyzed protein

Monopotassium glutamate (any protein that is hydrolyzed)

Glutamic acid Yeast extract

Calcium caseinate Yeast food

Sodium caseinate Autolyzed yeast

Gelatin Yeast nutrient

These very OFTEN contain MSG:

Malt extract Flavors(s) & Flavoring(s)

Malt flavoring Natural flavor(s) & flavoring(s)

Barley malt Natural pork flavoring

Bouillon Natural beef flavoring

Stock Natural chicken flavoring

Broth Seasonings (the word " seasonings " )

Carrageenan Soy sauce

Maltodextrin Soy sauce extract

Whey protein Soy protein

Whey protein isolate Soy protein isolate

Whey protein concentrate Soy protein concentrate

Pectin anything Protein fortified

anything Enzyme modified

These can be used to CREATE MSG:

Protease enzymes Protease Fungal protease Enzymes

Hidden MSG is not limited to use in food. MSG sensitive people have

reported reactions to soaps, shampoos, hair conditioners, and

cosmetics that contain hidden MSG. The most obvious common hiding

places are in ingredients called " hydrolyzed protein " and " amino

acids. "

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

MSG. Also, aspartic acid, found in aspartame (NutraSweet) ordinarily

causes MSG type reactions in MSG sensitive people. Aspartame is

found in some medications. Check with your pharmacist.

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

prescription and non-prescription, including enteral feeding

materials and some fluids administered intravenously in hospitals,

may contain MSG.

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

very small amounts of MSG while others usually only react to

relatively more. MSG-induced reactions may occur immediately after

contact or after as much as 48 hours.

There are additional ingredients that appear to cause MSG reactions

in ACUTELY sensitive people. A list is available for those

interested.
