MSG and flavour enhancers

Flavour enhancers are added to a range of savoury foods to add flavour where it has been lost in the manufacturing process.

Chips, deli meats, noodles, soup, sauces, biscuits, to name a few, are loaded with these bad boys.

Some research has shown that these additives can cause reactions from headaches, hyperactivity, and depression to asthma, IBS and heart problems. These reactions are seen more in children, which makes you wonder!

Just remember flavour enhancers are added to cheap, unnutritious foods to make them more tempting. These foods have no nutritional value and really aren’t needed to be fed to our kids.
