Re: Need Help with Thyroid and Adrenals-Here ...

[Guest guest]

Isn't it the truth?! They say that food coloring and the like have no taste, but my whole being can taste it, and so can my grossly upset stomach (when I have mistakenly gotten hold of it). I'm looking at all these products and all the crap in them, thinking Why is that in there? It doesn't even extend the shelf life of the product, for the most part. And the way I figure it, I don't want to eat anything that lasts that long, mainly because I would be suspicious of it, that it wasn't real food, if it lasted that long! Hamburger helper---yukka! Packaged cakes and fried pies---yukka! I AM a real sugar and sweets lover, but it just can't be the artificial stuff, it has to be with single ingredients, so that I KNOW what's in it. The REAL stuff doesn't make me feel poisoned at ALL, only the artificial stuff.

MSG has been shown to cause many problems

MSG gave me horrible headaches. We only get takeout chinese that has no msg and is cooked right there in front of you.

I can't stand the taste of proscessed food. Those gross cheese. We only buy real cheese. The deli will cut it in blocks. Don't buy a lot because of the fat etc. I could live on a big plate of fruit and some cheese.

It is highly illegal to list MSG as a spice. It HAS to be listed by it's real name. This came into being many a yr ago. However, there are many ingredients that have never yet come under this umbrella. If it is listing it as "spice", it can come off the market, if they are reported and also caught (MSG).

Re: Re: Need Help with Thyroid and Adrenals-Here ...

I really think that the reaction that you had was probably due to MSG that was in the food, a lot of restaurants add it to food and even if they do not it is in almost every processed food that you buy. That is one major reason that I avoid processed food. Do a google on MSG and there is a site out there that tells you how to read the labels on food and find the hidden MSG. They knew people were catching on so they use different wording to show it is in there and fool the average consumer. Haven't you ever wondered why on some labels they will list the spices they use and then list an ingredient "spice" toward the end of the list? That is MSG. MSG has been shown to cause many problems with the nervous system. I have reactions to it also and have to avoid most restaurants.
