What’s really in your food that’s making you SICK?

Even health food stores carry products that can cause headaches, itching, nausea and allergic reactions – and worse!

Free glutamates, more notoriously known as MSG, are found everywhere in prepared foods, not just in your take-out Chinese dinners. Here is a list of ingredients that are hiding MSG in your food. Keep an eye out and avoid these:

autolyzed yeast

calcium caseinate

enzymes

flavors and flavorings

gelatin

glutamate

glutamic acid

hydrolyzed protein

hydrolyzed soy protein

protease

protease enzymes

sodium caseinate

textured protein

yeast extract

yeast food and yeast nutrients

may also be found in:

barley malt

boullion

malt extract

malt flavoring

natural pork or natural chicken or natural beef flavoring

seasonings

soy protein concentrate

soy protein isolate

soy sauce extract

whey protin

whey protein concentrate or isolate

anything that is enzyme modified….

…all this even in foods that advertise NO MSG!

  1. This is a good reminder to me that I need to look for these too. I know if I don’t recognize to not eat it, but I forgot about the hidden names for MSG too – not just sugar!
