Does cow's milk contain MSG (naturally occurring)? How about soy, like tofu??
Answers: Short answer...NO!!!!
Naturally occurring? Well, there is the amino acid glutamine in those but that is NOT the same.
As to the milk and soy you use, I would say it depends on the product.
While MSG in its pure form must be labeled, food manufacturers are aware that consumers have become savvy to the term, “monosodium glutamate, and are now adding enormous amounts to our foods under devious and difficult-to-identify names—with the Food and Drug Administration’s approval.
When added to another ingredient (frequently the case with carrageenan, for instance), the FDA does not require that MSG be listed as such on a label.
Food labels are arranged in descending order of ingredient concentrations. The earlier an ingredient below appears on a label, the higher the likelihood that the food contains MSG.
Definite Sources of MSG:
Autolyzed yeast
Calcium caseinate
Gelatin
Glutamate
Glutamic acid
Hydrolyzed corn gluten
Monopotassium glutamate
Monosodium glutamate
Hydrolyzed protein
Sodium caseinate
Textured protein
Yeast extract
Possible Sources of MSG:
Cornstarch
Citric acid
Powdered milk
Maltodextrin
Carrageenan
Vegetable gum
Seasonings
Spices
Flavorings
Natural flavorings
Chicken flavoring
Beef flavoring
Pork flavoring
Smoke flavoring
Bouillon
Broth
Stock
Barley malt
Malt extract
Malt flavoring
Pectin
Enzymes
Protease
Whey protein
Whey protein isolate
Whey protein concentrate
Soy protein
Soy protein isolate
Soy protein concentrate
Soy sauce
Soy extract
Anything Protein fortified
Anything Enzyme modified
Anything Ultra-pasteurized
Unfortunately, it is impossible to provide an all-inclusive list because the food industry is always inventing new labeling deceptions to confound consumers.
Disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate are expensive food additives that work synergistically with inexpensive MSG. Their use suggests that the product has MSG in it. They would probably not be used as food additives if there were no MSG present.
MSG reactions have been reported to soaps, shampoos, hair conditioners, and cosmetics, where MSG is hidden in ingredients that include the words hydrolyzed, amino acids, and protein.
I would also suggest elimination of the excitotoxin, aspartame (Nutrasweet ™ et al.), from your diet, as many people who react to one also react to the other.
It is also important to know that MSG can also be found (though not always) in vaccines, flu shots, IV solutions (as maltodextrin), and in vitamin supplements. MSG is always present in any gelatin-encapsulated vitamin or supplement.
I hope that helped!
