clever packaging techniques. A label that states “no MSG added”
does not mean that the ingredients used to create the dish do
not contain MSG, just that no additional quantity was used in the

recipe—so be sure to check your ingredient labels.

Also be on the lookout for the following additives, which always
contain MSG: textured protein, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed protein,

plant protein, oat flour and vegetable protein, sodium and calcium
caseinate, and yeast extract. It is also sometimes hidden within
“natural flavors,” and is naturally present in soymilk.

Avoiding processed foods entirely, and sticking to real, whole foods,
is one great way to steer clear of MSG.

While you may not be in the habit of checking what comes out
of your bottom, it is a good idea to sneak a peek from time to

experience serious bouts of diarrhea, something is amiss with your
gut. However, even if you’re not having serious digestive trouble,
the color, smell, and shape of your stool can provide an insight into

your health, so it pays to be informed.
