Yesterday I had a quick trip to a local supermarket to find salad ingredients and decided on ranch dressing. I picked up three different bottles before finding one that didn't have monosodium glutamate. One of the worst (with MSG near the top of the ingredient list) was in a healthy-looking Mason jar with a big, green "NATURAL FRESH" on the label. Well, there's nothing natural about MSG, a brain-cell killer that puts cells into overdrive before finishing them off. I bought the Marie's brand, which apparently has no MSG.
Green Tea Drinks
How do beverage companies take a perfectly good tea and ruin it? By loading it up with high fructose corn syrup. Don't be fooled by the pretty, healthy-looking bottles and labels. They're just for shelf appeal. I couldn't find a single popular brand that didn't have it. The ingredient list reads more like a soft drink without carbonated water. Make your own easily and put it in a sports bottle!
