Label Ambush

Some people react badly to MSG (monosodium glutamate). Others think it's a long-term health hazard. (Personally I believe it is toxic to the nervous system.) If you're one of these people, be aware that MSG is, or might be, contained in other additives, so look for these on the label:
- anything with hydrolized, glutamate, protein, enzyme or caseinate in the name
- Textured protein
- Yeast nutrient
- Autolyzed yeast
- Carrageenan
- Natural flavoring

Now that you know what to look for, if you find it's hard to get packaged foods without these additives -- surprise!
