Do you know how Hydrolysed vegetable protein is manufactured? It's one of the more common substitutes for pure MSG and is found in a huge range of common foods. Dr. Blaycock provides this explanation of what this healthy sounding ingredient really is.
'HVP is made from junk vegetables selected for their high quantity of excitotoxins; e.g.glutamate.The vegetables are boiled in a vat of sulphuric acid for several hours then the acid is neutralised with caustic soda. The brown sludge is scraped off the top and dried into a powder. The powder contains known carcinogens and dicarboxylic, the safety of which is unknown. MSG is often added to this powder. Finally, the powder is put in our food, including baby food, and we eat it.'
