  2. It is so important to eat food such as this that you have made, that is raw, organic, without toxins like sugar and MSG. Hope it's okay to post this article on your website about MSG:

    Special alert – how MSG makes you gain weight

    (NaturalHealth365) Today, we just got our first fall rain. You know the kind that leaves the air crisp, cold, and clean? To celebrate, my family made some homemade soup using a concentrated broth we bought at the “health” food store.
    The label does not mention MSG, so my partner thinks it is safe… until we all begin getting headaches. We check the label and realize that “yeast extract” is a “code word” for MSG.
    Millions of people are (secretly) being poisoned by MSG – everyday!
    We quickly dose up on CoQ10 and vitamin C, both of which have been shown to counteract the effects. With no relief, (and curious) my family and I go to the grocery store and do a little research.
    Turns out, over 80% of the foods we randomly pull off of the shelf either have MSG, or ingredients that contain free glutamate (an MSG-derivative). Tip toeing through the aisles, we start to realize how difficult it is to get anything healthy these days that has not be contaminated by MSG.
    It’s time to reveal the “code names” for MSG
    The FDA does not require restaurants or food manufacturers to tell you if there is MSG in their food and if so, how much. So, like most additives, Americans have to “play detective”.

    Beware of the following ingredients, which are “code words” for MSG or its excitotoxic cousin, glutamate: MSG, yeast extract, corn maltodextrin, molasses, disodium caseinate, L-Cysteine, casein, caseinate, cane sugar, kombu extract, bouillon, natural flavors, nitrates, nitrites, erythroborate, carrageenan, calcium caseinate, broth, beet sugar, aspartame, guar gum, glutamate, gelatin, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, textured protein, vegetable gum and wheat gluten.

    What is MSG and where does it come from?

    MSG was first produced in 1908 by a Japanese company by the name of Ajinomoto. It was first introduced in the U.S. around 1968.
    Chefs will tell you that the MSG brings out the taste in otherwise bland foods. Food chemists will tell you that MSG is addictive, which is one of the reasons why it began replacing salt over the past several decades – especially in snack foods such as Doritos® and most fast food sold at places such as, McDonalds®, KFC®, Taco Bell®, Panda Express® and Burger King®.

    To make rats fat, scientists inject them with MSG!
    When scientists want to study obesity, they take healthy rats and inject them with MSG during the perinatal period. So, let’s compare the Standard American Diet (SAD) to the diet of a MSG-induced obese rat and see if we can draw some comparisons. Injecting a fetal or newborn rat with 2 to 4 mg/kg of body weight for 5 days is all that it takes to turn that healthy rat into an obese, addictive, insulin resistant (Diabetic) rat.
