Yeah, well, I wouldn't go and add pure 8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide to my food (and neither should you, be adviced) but I do like having some of it sometimes, from where I normally get it.

Mmm... now there's some good stuff.

you know there is a place were they do do that. I remember reading an article about it, if you take a drop of it raw it'll make your toung swell up and ****, which isn't supriseing.

and Wanderer, do tell us what the less evil name for MSG is that's been around since antiquity.

[Wanderer]

Carbohydrates include everything from the simple stuff like glucose or fructose to 'table sugar' (sucrose), cellulose and also complex gel forming stuffs which among other things make ketchup act like it does. MSG is also sort of similar.. people have used it for ages already (or how long Asians have used soy beans).

Milk has and will always have certain trans fats in it.. And not all of the trans fats are harmful.. Besides industry can pretty easily prevent their formation in the food processing chain if they just want to (like they have done here in Finland). Certain saturated fats can be beneficial to health. The whole fat thing is hell of a lot more complex and more difficult to understand than what 'normal consumer' is aware of.

And yeah.. there are loads of odd organic food going around there days.

MSG was discovered too 'late' to have gained (yet) a trivial name..
