My apologies to Betty Martini - in my previous e-mail, in an effort to get
it out to the list in a hurry, I gave her a wrong last name in error.
Haste makes waste, they say. Sorry, Betty.
Meanwhile, she also forwarded this memo, which I in turn forward to the list:

Subject: Hidden Sources of MSG
As promised, here is a list of hidden sources of MSG: (One really has to
read labels. After a while you get used to what is harmful. I agree, it is
a super pain at first, but well worth it to preserve your health and maybe
even save your life when it comes to aspartame. We know of several people
who have died of aspartame disease.)
Any more questions, just Email me. I am here to help in any way I can.

Hidden MSG is not limited to use in food. MSG sensitive people have reported
reactions to soaps, shampoos, hair conditioners, and cosmetics that contain
hidden MSG. The most obvious common
hiding places are in ingredients called "hydrolyzed protein" and "amino
acids."
Drinks, candy and chewing gum are also potential sources of hidden MSG. Also
aspartic acid, found in aspartame (NutraSweet) ordinarily cause MSG type
reactions in MSG sensitive people. Aspartame is found in some medications.
Check with your pharmacist.
Binders and fillers for medications, nutrients, and supplements, both
prescription and non-prescription, including enteral feeding materials and
some fluids administered intravenously in hospitals, may contain MSG.
