Amy's Kitchen offers consumers clean, MSG-free natural health foods Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

So yes, you can end up paying four dollars for a small microwavable meal of honest, clean, organic food from Amy's Kitchen, and sure, you could spend half that on a frozen meal from some other company loaded with hydrogenated oils, refined sugars, monosodium glutamate and artificial food coloring, but is it really worth two dollars less to poison your body? I gladly spend the extra two bucks to have clean food and avoid the detrimental effects of these additive ingredients. That's why Amy's Kitchen goes on my A-list. This is an A+ company, in my opinion.

I have been purchasing and consuming Amy's Kitchen food items for about two years now, and I have never had a monosodium glutamate incident from their products. This is remarkable because I have purchased and tested foods from many other companies that claimed to be natural, and I have found that they were not natural and have even found that many of them are hiding MSG in their foods and not putting it on the label.

Where's the health in health care reform? Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

You've got added salts, artificial colors, all kinds of preservatives and monosodium glutamate (MSG) hidden in foods. It all starts with the foods, so all this talk about who's going to pay for the disease is all just a distraction so no one has to talk about the foods and the beverages that are causing these diseases in the first place. The food and beverage companies, of course, would love to keep it that way.

Beating cancer -- how to take charge of your cancer cure and outlive the lies of the cancer industry Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Or, better yet, become a live foods vegan. I'm just naming off a few things. You can be cancer-free if you follow the recipe.

Big Pharma is developing drugs for the most distressing disease of all: Life Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Foods are enhanced with excitotoxins and chemical taste enhancers like monosodium glutamate so that nothing tastes like it really should. Everything has been exaggerated to create this sensory explosion in the mouth of consumers, so consumers live a life in which they can't taste anything unless it's been chemically altered. And they can't function from one day to the next unless they've been chemically doped up with psychotropic drugs and blood-chemistry-altering chemicals sold to them at prices so high that our entire national economy is now headed toward bankruptcy due to healthcare costs.

Taste inflation revealed: why sugar, salt and fragrance make you stupid Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

These are all different forms of monosodium glutamate, or chemical taste enhancers, designed to get your tongue to notice you're eating something. And they're only used because you've blown away your sense of taste via taste inflation. Highly offensive to healthy humans If you were to take any of these foods or personal care products found in America and give them to indigenous tribes, they wouldn't even touch them. You couldn't pay these people to drink carbonated soft drinks, eat a muffin or wear cologne.

One food after another contains yeast extract that functions almost like monosodium glutamate. That is its only purpose in these foods. I personally, have a very sensitive glutamate detector in my body. If I eat any food containing high levels of glutamate, I immediately get a piercing headache that lasts for hours, so I can always tell when a manufacturer is hiding this ingredient in its foods. But this article is about a manufacturer whose foods I have consistently been able to consume without ever having this glutamate headache.

The raw foods diet: The taste alone is worth it! Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

That's why manufacturers add monosodium glutamate (MSG), yeast extract, sugar and salt to their foods. These ingredients are specifically used to give some kind of taste to foods that otherwise taste dead and boring because the life has been cooked out of them or because the depth of taste has been milled out of them during the grain processing. Processed foods taste nothing like real food from nature. When foods are processed, cooked or put on a shelf in a grocery store, they're little more than a shadow of the original food.

Bariatric surgery kills 5 percent of patients: Weight loss surgery takes deadly toll Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The most common one is monosodium glutamate, or MSG. This ingredient is hidden in lots of other food ingredients such as yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, autolyzed vegetable protein and so on. This chemical interferes with the normal healthy function of your endocrine system. That's the system that regulates appetite in your body. When this system isn't functioning correctly, your body never knows when you've eaten enough, so it never turns off your appetite and you continue to eat and eat and eat.

The main ones to avoid are the excitotoxins, which include monosodium glutamate, yeast extract and other variations of this chemical. If you do that, you don't need bariatric surgery. You'll lose weight as a side effect of making healthy food choices. Now, a few people will say, "I don't want to give up my nacho chips; they have MSG, but I don' t want to give those up. I don't want to give up eating my canned soup." It's always a choice for each and every person.

I would have expected to look at the ingredients label for this product and see something like yeast extract, which is really a code name for monosodium glutamate (MSG), a neurotoxin chemical that overexcites the nerves in the nervous system, causes imbalances in the endocrine system making it very difficult to lose weight, and can cause extreme headaches, mental cloudiness, dizziness, and so on. Unfortunately, a lot of natural products these days contain MSG, hidden as an ingredient called yeast extract.

Most food dips (like guacamole dip) are made with hydrogenated oils, artificial colors and monosodium glutamate. Many guacamole dips don't even contain avocados. 7. Plastic food packaging is a potent health hazard. Scientists now know that plastics routinely seep the chemical bisphenol A into the food, where it is eaten by consumers. Cooking in plastic containers multiplies the level of exposure. Bisphenol is a hormone disruptor and can cause breast formation in men and severe hormonal imbalances in women. It may also encourage hormone-related cancers such as prostate cancer and breast cancer.

Be aware that although the names sound similar, glutamine, glutamic acid (also sometimes called glutamate), glutathione, gluten, and monosodium glutamate are all different substances. Glutathione Like carnitine, glutathione is not technically one of the amino acids. It is a compound classified as a tripeptide, and the body produces it from the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. Because of its close relationship to these amino acids, however, it is usually considered together with them. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that is produced in the liver.

Because one of its salts is monosodium glutamate (MSG), glutamic acid should be avoided by anyone who is allergic to MSG. Glutamine Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid found in the muscles of the body. Because it can readily pass the blood-brain barrier, it is known as brain fuel. In the brain, glutamine is converted into glutamic acid—which is essential for cerebral function—and vice versa. It also increases the amount of GABA, which is needed to sustain proper brain function and mental activity.
