Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a food additive and flavor enhancer that stimulates specific receptors in our taste buds. MSG is found both naturally and synthetically in a variety of foods. Mushrooms, tomatoes, nuts, legumes, meats and dairy products are among those foods that have natural amounts of MSG. Many processed foods such as canned soups, flavored potato chips, snack foods, frozen dinners, seasonings, and almost all fast foods add synthetic MSG. |
