It's my duty to inform you!

As an advocate of natural health and what you put in and on your body directly affects what happens to your health, I feel compelled to alert people about this. Since Turkey Day is approaching, you should know that not all labeling of food is in your best interest.
MSG is sometimes hidden in food with labels that say "No Added MSG,"
"No MSG Added," and "No MSG"

Imagine ORGANIC Free Range Chicken Broth
Ingredients include "natural flavor" -- and Imagine doesn't tell what is in the "natural flavor" and/or provide an analysis of the amount of processed free glutamic acid in their product. Did you know that MSG can be disguised as about 14 different names? How about 'hydrolized soy protein"?

Manufacturers are acutely aware that many consumers would prefer not to have MSG (1) in their food.(2) Some manufacturers have responded by using "clean labels," i.e., labels that contain only ingredient names they think consumers will not recognize as containing MSG -- names such as "hydrolyzed soy protein." Others advertise "No MSG," "No MSG Added," or "No Added MSG," even though their products contain MSG.

Most offenders are small processors who are possibly being misguided by the FDA, the USDA, and/or consultants. Hain and Campbell's, both large companies, are among those who have been alerted to both the deception that they are perpetrating and the illegality of what they are doing, yet continue with what the FDA has termed deceptive and misleading labeling.

Placing "No MSG," "No MSG Added," or "No Added MSG" on food labels has been deemed by the FDA to be false and misleading under section (403)(a)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act when the label also lists any hydrolyzed protein as an ingredient since it contains MSG."(3) Thus, to advertise "No MSG," "No MSG Added," or "No Added MSG" when there is MSG in a product is illegal. BE AWARE!

Back to training... only 3 days left and sadly, I'm not ready for this! But I will keep plugging away... "ain't no stoppin' us know" is the song playing in my head.... have a great day!
