How to Find Hidden MSG on Food Labels
462
Posted by Eleni Prokopeas on Dec.14, 2008
Here is just a sampling of ingredients that contain MSG
- Gelatin
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Hydrolyzed Protein (HVP)
- Yeast Extract
- Malted Barley
- Rice Syrup or Brown Rice Syrup
- Hydrolyzed Plant Extract
- Plant Protein Extract
- Sodium Caseinate
- Texturized Protein
- Autolyzed Yeast
- Hydrolyzed Oat Flour
- Calcium Caseinate
Additives that Frequently Contain MSG
- Malt Extract
- Bouillon
- Stock
- Natural Flavoring Seasonings
- Malt Flavoring
- Broth Flavoring
- Natural Beef or Chicken Flavoring
This has really opened my eyes. This stuff kills brain cells and I need every single one!
Almost ALL soup you buy in a can has MSG, also disguised as:
- Autolyzed Yeast Extract
- Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein
- Monopotassium Glutamate
- Hydrolyzed Plant Protein
- Glutamic Acid
- Yeast Food
- Yeast Extract Glutamate
- Textured Protein
- Sodium Caseinate
Glutamate is even sprayed on conventional produce. It’s called AuxiGro. I knew there was something being added to produce, esp lettuce The worst offender, unfortunately, is ‘organic’ lettuce. Watch the term ‘Organically Grown’ esp in large chain food marts. Organically Grown is a term applied to the growing process. It may be true that the produce was organically ‘grown’. But, the AugiGro is applied as a preservative POST HARVEST. Therefore, the term ‘organically grown’ is legally correct, and we are being poisoned by our ‘organic food’.
I’d also like to mention a DVD everyone should see. It is a very comprehensive DVD on the GMO’s being promoted. This film is very well done and very informative as to what is happening in the food industry and what is short of us eating “soylent green.” http://www.thefutureoffood.com/ There’s a preview clip there you can watch.

Unable to find help for him in conventional medicine, she turned to alternative medicine and healed her son of autism by his 6th Birthday. Rather than accepting the diagnosis as life-long, Eleni asked, “Why are neurological problems becoming an epidemic for so many young children, especially boys?” and “How can I help my son reach his full potential?” After spending endless hours researching, reading, calling and asking questions, she has helped her son heal and move through the Autism Spectrum World. It’s because of this experience and passion she created greendivamom.com. This experience changed how she looked and lived her life. “I now know that with knowledge comes power and that we ALL have the power to treat and overcome anything.
