We know from personal experience how overwhelming and confusing the subject of additives and preservatives can be, so today we are lucky enough to be talking to Alisa about all the details!

Alisa is a nutrition warrior and has avidly studied nutritional medicine, herbal medicine and health sciences for close to a decade. She is a proud mum to twin boys and is passionate about feeding babies, toddlers and kids a diet rich in nutrients and using products that are free of harsh chemicals. She loves beautiful, organic, nourishing foods and products that help kids grow up with healthy bodies and minds.

We get all the goss on MSG, including the common types of food to look out for, in finding this nasty little ingredient. We hear about the marketing secrets and labelling laws that still allow MSG in our food under stealth names or numbers.

Alisa talks about what goes on chemically within the body when you eat MSG and how it is processed through the system. We hear about the bioavailability of two completely different types of MSG, one being synthetic and one being perfectly formed in nature.

You won’t want to miss our conversation about how MSG interferes with your taste bud receptors and tricks your appetite into thinking you’re still hungry! Alisa really enforces the need to become ingredient detectors, when your children are young as normal food like vegetables, just can’t compete with the taste of MSG once that taste has been established.

There are various behavioural issues linked to MSG and we talk about how food has dramatically changed over the last 50 years, and what you can do to take your diet back to nature.
