At the age of 32, I frequently began to have awful headaches and swelling upon awakening in the mornings. After going to several doctors, weeding through all the trial periods of starting and stopping common allergy foods, it was finally discovered that my culprit was MSG (mono sodium glutimate)!
It is virtually impossible to find common grocery store products without it in the ingredient list -- it has been hidden in labels such as "spice." Even the state of California had approved the use of MSG on vegetables and had those get shipped to your common grocers.
When I found out about MSG, it was back to basic for me and sourcing my food at Earthfare. I have now been free of headaches for over 10 years! In addition, I just discovered a product that I have missed all these years -- bullion. Earth Fare carries an MSG-free buillion called "Better Than Buillion" that I can't wait to try. Keep up the great service in providing real fuel for the body to our community!
