Rock It! Workout & MSG Awareness

MSG AWARENESS:

Just because the label does not read “MSG” or “Monosodium glutamate” doesn’t mean that MSG is absent from a product. Here is a list of terms that ALL mean MSG:

-  MSG

-  Monosodium glutamate

-  Monopotassium glutamate

-  Glutamate

-  Glutamic Acid

-  Gelatin

-  Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

-  Hydrolyzed Plant Protein

-  Autolyzed Plant Protein

-  Sodium Caseinate

-  Calcium Caseinate

-  Textured protein

-  Yeast Extract

-  Yeast food or nutrient

-  Autolyzed yeast

Check your labels and you will be surprised to note how many of these different terms are hiding in them. I recently check a can of low sodium chicken broth that advertised MSG FREE on the label only to find that Yeast Extract was listed there! Also to my EXTREME dismay I discovered whey protein is the biggest culprit for hiding this stuff in it!!!!! Get out from underneath the American Dream or it WILL kill you.
