The Other Silent Killer

I don’t know about you but when I think of silent killer I immediately think of heart disease.  Must be all those public service ads I’ve seen but there is another just as ominous silent killer that is probably lurking in your kitchen cupboards.

It’s MSG and according to Dr. Mercola it’s as dangerous if not more so than nicotine, alcohol and many drugs and it hiding in many things we eat everyday.  I say hiding because it’s not as easy as looking at the ingredient list because food manufacturers have become savvy and called it something else. To see what I mean, check out this list:

Here is a list of ingredients that ALWAYS contain MSG:

Autolyzed Yeast
Calcium Caseinate
Gelatin
Glutamate
Glutamic Acid
Hydrolyzed Protein
Monopotassium Glutamate
Monosodium Glutamate
Sodium Caseinate
Textured Protein
Yeast Extract
Yeast Food
Yeast Nutrient
