On the other hand, soup rich in umami substances (dashi) was reported to reduce indexes of anxiety and stress. The objective of this study was to measure mood and physiological stress indexes during administration of a sodium-restricted diet with and without an umami substance (free L-glutamate) by a cross-over randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Japanese female university students. The baseline was measured for 5 days followed by Citation: Iwamoto, T.; Wakita, A.; a sodium-restricted diet intervention phase that lasted for 10 days.

  • Glutamate and Excitotoxin Food List
    Glutamate and Excitotoxin Food List Much of this information comes from the work of Russell Blaylock, M.D. author of "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills." Excitotoxins are substances that when consumed in large amounts such as aspartame found in diet soda can trigger inflammatory and hyper-stimulated activity in the brain. The important thing to remember about all of this is you are not going to be able to avoid glutamate foods all together. The list is quite extensive, and various forms of glutamate-like substances are found in a wide variety of things we eat - many of them healthy. There is also going to be natural glutamate in a healthy diet because glutamate at a certain level is important for normal brain function. However, it is the artificial forms such as aspartame, MSG and others that are problematic. Here is the list: monosodium glutamate nutrasweet/aspartame malted barley flour glutamate hydrolyzed protein malt extract natural flavor(s) hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) malt flavoring(s) natural flavorings(s) hydrolyzed plant protein malted barley/barley malt maltodextrin hydrolyzed oat flour malted anything carrageenan hydrolyzed anything textured protein gelatin sodium caseinate guar gum spice(s) calcium caseinate soy extract AutismRecoverySystem.com seasoning(s) caseinate soy protein seasoned salt disodium guanylate soy protein concentrate dough conditioner(s) disodium inosinate soy protein isolate yeast extract disodium caseinate soy sauce autolyzed yeast chicken/beef/pork "flavoring" whey protein autolyzed yeast extract chicken/beef/pork "base" whey protein isolate autolyzed anything bouillon whey protein concentrate broth vegetable gum kombu extract stock plant protein extract l-cysteine soup base smoke flavoring(s) ajinomoto AutismRecoverySystem.com The material contained within this document is not intended to replace the services and/or medical advice of a licensed health care practitioner, nor is it meant to encourage diagnosis and treatment of disease.

  • Misleading and Deceptive Use of "No MSG" to Hide MSG
    Misleading and deceptive use of "No MSG" to hide MSG http://www.truthinlabeling.org/nomsg.html WWW.truthinlabeling.org -- Home page Back to Table of Contents No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG, No MSG MSG is sometimes hidden in food with labels that say "No Added MSG," "No MSG Added," and "No MSG" We found these a while back at Trader Joe's in Chicago: Imagine ORGANIC Free Range Chicken Broth Ingredients include "natural flavor" -- and Imagine doesn't tell what is in the "natural flavor" and/or provide an analysis of the amount of processed free glutamic acid in their product. Kitchen Basics Natural Chicken Stock Ingredients include "chicken stock," "natural flavor," and "vegetable stocks" -- and Kitchen Basics doesn't tell what is in the "chicken stock," "natural flavor," and "vegetable stock," and/or provide an analysis of the amount of processed free glutamic acid in their product. Manufacturers are acutely aware that many consumers would prefer not to have MSG (1) in their food.(2) Some manufacturers have responded by using "clean labels," i.e., labels that contain only ingredient names they think consumers will not recognize as containing MSG -- names such as "hydrolyzed soy protein." Others advertise "No MSG," "No MSG Added," or "No Added MSG," even though their products contain MSG. Most offenders are small processors who are possibly being misguided by the FDA, the USDA, and/or consultants. Hain and Campbell's, both large companies, are among those who have been alerted to both the deception that they are perpetrating and the illegality of what they are doing, yet continue with what the FDA has termed deceptive and misleading labeling.

Taste, appearance, texture, and microbiological safety are required to be preserved within a foodstuff for the longest period of time. Although considerable improvements have been achieved in terms of food additives, some are still enveloped in controversy. The lack of uniformity in worldwide laws regarding additives, along with conflicting results of many studies help foster this controversy. In this report the most important preservatives, nutritional additives, coloring, flavoring, texturizing, and miscellaneous agents are analyzed in terms of safety and toxicity. Natural additives and extracts, which are gaining interest due to changes in consumer habits are also evaluated in terms of their benefits to health and combined effects.
