It saddened me to learn recently that one of the only nutritional shake mixes I thought was truly healthy contained MSG. You wont see MSG on the label, though! MSG can be hidden as a by-product of certain ingredients. Bottom line - almost all dietary shake mixes contain a form of MSG. Shake mixes are becoming very popular and are being sold to many looking for a healthier lifestyle. Before you buy, research and read your labels! CHECK OUT THESE HIDDEN SOURCES OF MSG: truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html The following foods contain MSG in amounts large enough to cause reactions in those sensitive to it.: Taco Bell® - seasoned meat - contains autolyzed yeast - which contains free glutamate Other menu items that contain soy sauce, natural flavors, autolyzed yeast or hydrolyzed protein which can contain up to 20% free glutamic acid - the active part of MSG.
