As I have been researching I came across some information on the effects of MSG (monosodium glutamate) and the ways that it is hidden. 
MGS is known to be one of the most addictive substances to man, it is referred to as an excito-toxin because it excites certain receptors in the brain and causes you to crave more and more (right there is a good clue as to why the food industry adds this to so many things).  The fact of the matter is that your brain cells can become so excited that they die - not a very good thing for a brain cell, wouldn't you agree?  So why do they put this is our food, is it used only as a flavoring or are there other motives? 

Since its introduction into the American food supply approximately fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and larger doses to the prepackaged meals, soups, snacks and fast foods we are tempted to eat everyday.  MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their products.  it make people choose their product over others, and makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn't added.  So perhaps this answers the question of why after a meal or eating certain foods we are still hungry! MSG often times can be tricky to find on package labels as it is disguised under different names, such as "hydrolyzed vegetable protein, hydrolyzed protein, hydrolyzed plant extract, plant protein extract, sodium cassinate, yeast extract, texturized protein, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed oat flour and calcium casemate." 

When shopping it most certainly pays to put your Label Detective hat on, remember just because it says "healthy" "All Natural" or a well known name or manufacturer of a DFL friendly product does not mean all their products are acceptable. 

Be blessed and as always
Keep looking up - there you will find your Strength,

In hope and in Him,
