MSG
in Health products
Most people have heard of the dangers of 'MSG' or Monosodium Glutamate. However
many don't realize that it is in almost everything that is prepackaged or
manufactured. MSG is not only cheap, but it enhances flavours of whatever food
it is put into making it even more 'irresistible'. Since people have been
alerted to the troubles and dangers of MSG most companies avoid using it by
that name. However, the manufacturers have not eliminated using MSG, they have
simply renamed it.What's worse is manufacturing companies are adding greater quantities than in the past. They are even targeting people who purchase so called 'heath products'. Most health powders and bars contain some type of MSG. Unfortunately those energy/protein bars you've been eating to stay healthy probably have calcium caseinate or whey which usually are laced with MSG. From our research anything with the words isolates or hydrolyzed are actually hidden MSG.
The next time you're about to consume your quick and easy health bar or protein
shake you should read the label on the back and look for any of these other
names used to hide MSG:
- Anything "hydrolyzed"
- Any "hydrolyzed protein"
- Any "flavors" or "flavoring"
- Anything "enzyme modified"
- Anything containing "enzymes"
- Anything "protein fortified"
- Anything "fermented"
- Anything "isolate"
- Anything "enriched"
- Anything "vitamin enriched"
- Calcium caseinate, Sodium caseinate
- Autolyzed yeast
- Yeast food, Yeast nutrient
- Soy protein, soy protein concentrate
- Whey protein, whey protein concentrate
