 CS> Umm, no MSG in any brand i have.  You got something diferent there?

did you catch the list of names that MSG goes by that i posted some time back?

Autolyzed, hydrolyzed, glutamate, glutamic acid, hydrolyzed, autolyzed

HIDDEN SOURCES OF PROCESSED FREE GLUTAMIC ACID (MSG) NAMES OF INGREDIENTS THAT
CONTAIN ENOUGH MSG TO SERVE AS COMMON MSG-REACTION TRIGGERS

The MSG-reaction is a reaction to free glutamic acid that occurs in food as a
consequence of manufacture. MSG-sensitive people do not react to protein (which
contains bound glutamic acid) or any of the minute amounts of free glutamic
acid that might be found in unadulterated, unfermented, food.

                    These ALWAYS contain MSG

Glutamate               Glutamic acid               Gelatin
Monosodium glutamate    Calcium caseinate           Textured protein
Monopotassium glutamate Sodium caseinate            Yeast nutrient
Yeast extract           Yeast food                  Autolyzed yeast
Hydrolyzed protein      Hydrolyzed corn gluten      Natrium glutamate 
(any protein that is                                (natrium is 
hydrolyzed)                                         Latin/German for 
                                                    sodium)

These OFTEN contain MSG or create MSG during processing

Carrageenan             Maltodextrin                Malt extract
Natural pork flavoring  Citric acid                 Malt flavoring
Bouillon and Broth      Natural chicken flavoring   Soy protein isolate
Natural beef flavoring  Ultra-pasteurized           Soy sauce
Stock                   Barley malt                 Soy sauce extract
Whey protein concentrate Pectin                     Soy protein
Whey protein            Protease                    Soy protein concentrate
Whey protein isolate    Protease enzymes            Anything protein fortified
Flavors(s) &            Anything enzyme modified    Anything fermented
Flavoring(s)            Enzymes anything            Seasonings 
Natural flavor(s)                                   (the word "seasonings")
& flavoring(s)


In ADDITION...
The new game is to label hydrolyzed proteins as pea protein, whey protein, corn
protein, etc. If a pea, for example, were whole, it would be identified as a
pea. Calling an ingredient pea protein indicates that the pea has been
hydrolyzed, at least in part, and that processed free glutamic acid (MSG) is
present. Relatively new to the list are wheat protein and soy protein.

Disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate are expensive food additives that
work synergistically with inexpensive MSG. Their use suggests that the product
has MSG in it. They would probably not be used as food additives if there were
no MSG present.

MSG reactions have been reported to soaps, shampoos, hair conditioners, and
cosmetics, where MSG is hidden in ingredients that include the words
"hydrolyzed," "amino acids," and "protein."

Low fat and no fat milk products often include milk solids that contain MSG.

Drinks, candy, and chewing gum are potential sources of hidden MSG and of
aspartame and neotame. Aspartic acid, found in neotame and aspartame
(NutraSweet), ordinarily causes MSG type reactions in MSG sensitive people.
Aspartame is found in some medications, including children's medications.
Neotame is relatively new and we have not yet seen it used widely. Check with
your pharmacist.

Binders and fillers for medications, nutrients, and supplements, both
prescription and non-prescription, enteral feeding materials, and some fluids
administered intravenously in hospitals, may contain MSG.

According to the manufacturer, Varivax-Merck chicken pox vaccine (Varicella
Virus Live), contains L-monosodium glutamate and hydrolyzed gelatin both of
which contain processed free glutamic acid (MSG) which causes brain lesions in
young laboratory animals, and causes endocrine disturbances like OBESITY and
REPRODUCTIVE disorders later in life.  It would appear that most, if not all,
live virus vaccines contain MSG.

Reactions to MSG are dose related, i.e., some people react to even very small
amounts. MSG-induced reactions may occur immediately after ingestion or after
as much as 48 hours.

Note: There are additional ingredients that appear to cause MSG reactions in
ACUTELY sensitive people. A list is available by request.

Remember: By FDA definition, all MSG is "naturally occurring." "Natural"
doesn't mean "safe."  "Natural" only means that the ingredient started out in
nature.
