  Non MSG and full of nutrient Veggie Chicken Broth They sell this in stores BUT a couple of years ago, I realized after reading an article that all chicken broths are not created equal, so I switch to organic and low sodium (yes, salt enhances the flavor for food but it is not good for your body to have a lot of it.). After using the organic chicken broth, I, one day, decided to look at the ingredients. Never thought to do that because it's ORGANIC! It can't be too bad! Well, as I was scrolling through, I realized that 1. There wasn't much veggies in the mix to add to the nutritional value of the broth, which is important to health and flavor and 2. It had autolyzed yeast extract.  Now, of course there is always controversy with MSG. Bottom line: It is bad. It has been linked to addicting the person in who consumes the flavor enhancer and long term uses of it can cause brain damage. This enhancer is not in just chinese restaurants anymore... it... is....EVERYWHERE! Think of a restaurant it is there. Thinking of one... yes it is there! It is also in most foods at the grocery store now... (processed foods) I did a test and went through products and looked through the ingredients list to see what has MSG and what does not.... I was stunned! Almost everything had one form or another of MSG... some had enough guts to just call it for what it was... monosodium glutamate. To the right you can see the different names for MSG. So, take a look at your labels... I'm sure you can find it there, unfortunately. So what do I do to avoid this? I make my own broths and foods! It usually tastes better and I know what is in it. My new motto is: "If it comes in a box it is guilty of food/people poisoning until proven innocent" I am working very hard to make recipes that are homemade and are from the veggie, meat, and spices aisle only. There is always an alternative and you can eat healthy food that is not processed or contains ingredients that will addict you to eating it and cause all kinds of health problems along the way. | Other Names for MSGMSGAccent Autolyzed Plant Protein Autolyzed Yeast Aginomoto Calcium Caseinate Citric Acid (when processed from corn) Gelatin Glutamate Glutamic Acid Hydrolized Plant Protein (HPP) Hydrolized Vegetable Protein (HVP) Monopotassium Glutamate Monosodium Glutamate MSG Natural Flavoring Natural Meat Tenderizer Sodium Caseinate Senomyx (wheat extract labeled as artificial flavor) Textured Protein Yeast Food or Nutrient Yeast Extract Carrageenan (E 407) Bouillon and broth Stock Any “flavors” or “flavoring” Maltodextrin Citric acid, Citrate (E 330) Anything “ultra-pasteurized” Barley malt Pectin (E 440) Protease Anything “enzyme modified” Anything containing “enzymes” Malt extract Soy sauce Soy sauce extract Anything “protein fortified” Anything “fermented” Seasonings Corn starch Corn syrup Modified food starch Lipolyzed butter fat Dextrose Rice syrup Brown rice syrup Milk powder Reduced fat milk (skim; 1%; 2%) most things low fat or no fat anything Enriched anything Vitamin enriched |
Health problems that MSG can cause...
Obesity: The reason MSG can cause obesity is because it makes you want to eat more. It tricks your brain into telling your stomach that you are starving and you need to eat more food. It is also addictive, so that aids in the "eating more" part. It is hard to have portion control when what you are eating is 1. highly addictive and 2. makes you think you aren't full when you actually are.
Other symptoms are: sweating, migraines, asthma, vomiting, fatigue, disorientation, depression, headaches, facial tightness, flushed skin, nausea, heart palpitations, chest pain and weakness.
Brain Damage: There is research in the making on how MSG cause brain lesions. But, this is something that you won't see right away. It takes years to get into your system and create damage and then you could develop dementia, reproductive disorders, stunted growth, and other brain related disorders.
