MSG or glutamic acid is extracted from sea weed. It is all extracted from protein using acid hydrolysis.
Every hydrolyzed protein product, regardless of the name given to it on a label, contains MSG.
The use of MSG is still growing in the food supply. MSG is found in most soups, salad dressings, processed meats, frozen entrees, ice cream, and frozen yogurt, crackers, bread, canned tuna, and very often in "low fat" and "no fat" foods. This is done to make up for lost flavor when fat is reduced or eliminated in food products. It is also found in some cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements. It is also found in enteral feeding products and in infant formulas. It is used in vaccines, in hospitals jello, chicken soup, and even some IV solutions.
They put this stuff in baby food. MSG is used to make lab mice gain weight.
