Yeah if you eat a shovel full everday for a couple years, otherwise you're fine.


i donno if ur "fine" but i'd still prefer not to ingest any poisonous substnace as long as i know. plus lots of things can work in very very tiny amounts. rat poison is over 99% food. doesn't prove anything, but it was an eye openner for me.

i like pretty much any unsalted chips, havent tried kirkland though. i just love the flavor of all of them - theyre just deep fried potatoes. i think thats what gives it their alluring, delicious smell - the deep frying, not any artificial flavors or msg or etc. unless youre talking about a different kind of aroma.

fruit in yogurt: its different in that theres the yogurt taste plus the fruit taste (strawberries and blueberries for me), plus whatever else you put in. in regular fruit flavored yogurt (and ones with fruit chunks in them), theres no yogurt taste, just fruit/sugary or whatever flavor it is. kinda weird to describe. try it out yourself and see if you like it

Most things in excess will kill you, aspartame isn't poisonous in small dosages (such as in many diet and regular sodas). That rat poison example is stupid btw. It just shows you totally missed the point of what I said. If aspartame was causing all this cancer and was poisonous do you think the FDA and other agencies would allow it?

Sugary foods give you diabetes if you use it excessively and aspartame causes health issues if you use it excessively, but if you regulate yourself and don't go shove a tunkload of aspartame down your throat you'll be fine.

any other folks who thinks some foods are "overflavored" with the most lowliest of flavors? there are way more wonderful tastes than salty or sweet in the world... -_-


LOL! Dude - how long have you lived in America? Don't eat anything from a package, man, it's just salt and sweetener mixed in with whatever was cheap and might vaguely pass as almost comestible. As as been suggested, head to the produce section of your grocer and just buy the real ingredients before they've been screwed with. Greek yogurt is excellent - plain on müsli, mixed with a bit of fruit conserve, dashed onto a savoury dish, whatever. As for low-salt crisps, there's a fair selection on the market if you look around. Check out :

Definitely. Unless they're plain salted, almost all flavoured potato/corn/rice snacks are loaded in MSG. To be fair, I actually like MSG - I think it's got a terrible rap for what it is, but too much is still too much. If you're not allergic to it, and most people aren't, MSG, I think, is a much better way to flavour your food than salt. Too much sodium is terrible for you and MSG can enhance flavour way better than salt per unit of sodium. Plus it's a pure salt of glutamic acid, which is an essential amino acid your body needs to make proteins.

Another thing to look for on labels when scoping MSG is to look for things like "autolyzed yeast extract" or "yeast extract", which is exactly MSG, but derived from a natural yeast source, so they don't have to call it "MSG". And if you want to buy the stuff pure, Britain's greatest culinary legacy is what you're after - luscious Marmite

definitely, i hear u. i avoid packaged stuff almost instinctively and go towards produce a lot more now. yup. know all about the alternative naming for msg: any combination of "hydrolyzed/hydrogenated/autolyzed + protein/oil/yeast." sure msg is probably not horribly horrible, and i don't go shoving it down my throat. and yes, it is a protein, and i think like u said, almost anything extracted and pure usually has bad effects. good mixtures is the key, and usually naturally occuring foods have better balance of these that even enhance eachotehr's effectiveness and absorption.

as for aspartame, you don't see people dropping over after a couple of sodas, but this one, i'm a little more concerned about than most other additives.

thx for that site. my intetion isn't to debate food additives, but for food and health conscious people, it would be great to get resources that have worked for you, and we can all share our stuff and call out watchout's for each other. but hey, some people are more loose about what they put into their body. nothing wrong with that either.
