MSG is a neurotoxin and excitotoxin that over excites the cells in the brain so that food tastes better. Due to MSG, the cells die off from overexcitation. Some people get reactions after eating the food ingredient monosodium glutamate (MSG) – reactions that include migraine headaches, upset stomach, fuzzy thinking, diarrhea, heart irregularities, asthma, and/or mood swings. Even if you don’t get a reaction, the MSG neurotoxin is still unhealthy for the body. MSG is also implicated in weight gain because it alters the body’s adipose tissue. Scientists purposefully feed MSG to lab specimens to cause them to become overweight in order to study obesity. This is known as MSG-induced obesity.
More than 40 different ingredients contain the chemical in monosodium glutamate (processed free glutamic acid). Many of the hidden names listed below will surprise you.
Ingredients that ALWAYS contain processed free glutamic acid:
Glutamic acid (E 620),
Glutamate (E 620)
Monosodium glutamate (E 621)
Monopotassium glutamate (E 622)
Calcium glutamate (E 623)
Monoammonium glutamate (E 624)
Magnesium glutamate (E 625)
Natrium glutamate
Yeast extract
Anything “hydrolyzed’
Any “hydrolyzed protein”
Calcium caseinate
Sodium caseinate
Yeast food
Yeast nutrient
Autolyzed yeast
Gelatin
Textured protein
Vetsin
Ajinomoto
Ingredients that OFTEN contain or produce processed free glutamic acid
(may or may not be a problem) :
Carrageenan (E 407)
Bouillon and broth stock
Whey protein concentrate
Whey protein isolate
Any “flavors” or “flavoring”

Anything containing”enzymes”
Malt extract
Soy sauce
Soy sauce extract
Soy protein

Soy protein isolate
Anything “protein fortified”
Anything “fermented”
Seasonings
Ingredients that work synergistically with MSG to enhance flavor. If they are present for flavoring purposes, so is MSG.

Disodium 5-inosinate (E-‐631)
Disodium 5′-ribonucleotides (E 635)
Ingredients that are suspected of containing or creating sufficient processed free glutamic acid to serve as MSG-reaction triggers, only in HIGHLY SENSITIVE people:
Corn starch
Corn syrup
Modified food starch
Lipolyzed butter fat
Dextrose
Rice syrup
brown rice syrup
Milk powder
Reduced fat milk (e.g.., skim milk; 1% milk; 2% milk)

Wow! Good to know!
wow, good to know. It is still a myth to me that why non-fat, low fat…etc still taste so good. Probably, I should buy all food with natural flavor from now on, to avoid hidden msg.
