As reported in The
New York Times,
MSG has been blamed for "
Chinese Restaurant Syndrome". According to neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock, author of "
Excitotoxins", MSG can cause long-lasting dysfunction among many organs throughout the body, even in-utero. A child's brain, for instance, is four times more sensitive to MSG than an adults' (p. 34). Unfortunately, a lot of canned products - even those marketed to children - contain the neurotoxin. Unfortunately, you may not know it from the list of ingredients.
How to know when MSG is in your food? Uncover the many names used to describe MSG on the
Truth In Labeling website http://www.truthinlabeling.org. Terms like "natural flavors" and "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" are ingredients that you may not suspect are really MSG in disguise.
Even brands of organic chicken stock contain these ingredients, so this holiday season you may want to make your own. Here's my
easy-peasy no-chop recipe for chicken broth that you can make overnight when you sleep. By making your own, you can save half the price of store-bought organic brands. Make it on the weekend before a holiday, freeze the leftovers, and you'll have life-giving broth that you and your family will love.
