This popular food additive finds it's way to the top of my naught food list!  It's best to avoid as much as possible, especially if you are trying to lose weight.  Since making broth is a time consuming process, the food industry instead uses MSG (monosodium glutamate), along with synthetic flavorings, to give a meat like taste to soups, sauces, and gravies.

You probably  know that MSG can cause all sorts of neurological problems, from headaches to seizures, the so-called Chinese restaurant syndrome.  But you may not realize that MSG can also cause weight gain!  In animal studies, rats fed MSG became obese (and also blind).  In fact, the way scientist induce obesity in laboratory animals is by feeding them MSG!  It appears that MSG causes injury to the hypothalamus and pituitary, areas of the brain that control appetite, thyroid function, and the endocrine system.

This is yet another reason why it's crucial to avoid processed food; nearly all of it contains MSG, even thought the label may not say so.  In fact, if the label lists "spices," "flavorings," "natural flavorings," citric acid, or anything "hydrolyzed," or "autolyzed" the food probably contains MSG.  Canned and dehydrated soups, frozen dinners, bottled sauces and sauce mixes, soy foods, commercial salad dressings, and even many spice mixes are loaded with MSG.
