MSG an abbreviation that tends to stop people in their tracks, but does anyone really know if it is good or bad? Consisting of water, sodium, and glutamate, Monosodium Glutamate is a component naturally found in our bodies.

Used as a flavor enhancer MSG can be found in seasonings, condiments, bouillons, and snack chips. Today many products boast “NO ADDED MSG” as it has been reportedly linked to health problems such as allergic reactions, headaches, and possibly infantile obesity. The jury is still out on if MSG is truly harmful to the human body but like any other additive, you should always monitor your intake.
