OK. I will accept that you are a doctor. Your language skills tell me you must originate from a country other than the United States. I mean no disrespect. Just that in some cases language can cause misunderstandings or confusion. Is this correct?

I promise, no more questions about your origins and expertise.

Well, call me out of touch, but I love the stuff. It makes everything taste better, IMHO.

What are your thoughts on truthinlabeling.org? This article states:

The FDA has also admitted that processed free glutamic acid found in reaction flavors which are produced from a combination of specific amino acids, reducing sugars, and animal or vegetable fats or oils, and optional ingredients including hydrolyzed vegetable protein is also carcinogenic (Lin, L.J. Regulatory status of Maillard reaction flavors. Division of Food and Color Additives, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, FDA. August 24, 1992; Food Chemical News. May 31, 1993, p 16).




What is MSG?



These are the contaminates I wonder about.

In a sense, everything in life is a carcinogen, we can't live without the sun, but still the sun is a carcinogen.

Also you should know that especially here in NYC, a large % of doctors are form India and other countries and I mean a large%, really soon they are going to be the majority. Soon more IMG (International Medical Graduates) are coming to this country vs AMG (American Medical Graduates) are graduating.
