milk is a possible source of hidden MSG

The dietitian who claimed that Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) was not in milk needs to be better informed. Clearly, she is using the glutamate and food industry improper approach wherein they consider the term "MSG" to only refer to the food ingredient "monosodium glutamate."

Many MSG-sensitive individuals consider the term "MSG" to include any and all glutamic acid that has been freed from protein through a manufacturing process because they experience the same adverse reactions from such glutamic acid as they do from the processed free glutamic acid found in the food ingredient "monosodium glutamate," providing that they ingest amounts that exceed their tolerances for such substances. (There are currently over 40 ingredients that include such free glutamic acid.) This fact is acknowledged by the FDA in their "FDA Backgrounder," dated August 31, 1995, a document that is still in use and available on Internet.

You will note on our Web site (http://www.truthinlabeling.org/) that, when referring to the term "MSG," we define it as "processed free glutamic acid." You will also note that published peer reviewed studies clearly show that the glutamic acid found in unprocessed, unadulterated products is different from processed free glutamic acid (MSG). See

There is processed free glutamic acid (MSG) in many dairy products. We strongly suspect that the presence of Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) in many dairy products has resulted in adverse reactions in many people, leading many of them to erroneously believe that they are lactose intolerant. It is our strong belief that if the dairy industry would eliminate the use of processed free glutamic acid (MSG) from dairy products, reports of lactose intolerance would drop dramatically, and dairy sales would increase.

Now, a discussion of where Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) is found in dairy products.
