MIXED RESULTS!
If you are watching MKR on Channel 7 currently you can't help but see the Campbell's advertisement for their 'Real Stock'.
Personally, I would love to believe Manu- 'there is nothing artificial'; it's 'real stock'.
Well, the FISH stock is, except for a small amount of Lactic Acid (270) which acts as an antioxidant.
Lactic acid can be converted back to glycogen in the liver but is recognised to be difficult for babies to metabolise. It is usually obtained commercially by heating and fermenting carbohydrates such as sucrose, molasses, starch, or whey.
Vegetarians should be aware that as lactic acid is a naturally occurring animal product, it could conceivably be of animal origin.
The VEGETABLE stock is the next best- 97% vegetable content, followed by sugar & sea salt.
It is best to avoid the CHICKEN stock because besides added salt & sugar, MSG has found it's way into this stock in the form of 'Yeast Extract'.
The BEEF stock is also best avoided as it has 2 forms of MSG- namely 'Yeast Extract' & 'Natural Flavour'.
