4. Monosodium glutamate (MSG)

A tasty ingredient making restaurant food addictive and tasty. Yet, researchers blame this flavor enhancer for reproductive, nervous system, and brain disorders. 

MSG is in sauces, gravies, soups, and certain baby formulas.  It is also found in some low-fat & no-fat milk, processed foods, gum, candy. And as a bonus they use this ingredient on non-organic fruits and veggies as a wax or pesticide. Very fancy, eh?

5. Urea | Uric Acid | Carbamide

This ingredient you may want to avoid — because it’s pee. Yes, uric acid is excreted from urine and other bodily fluids. They use it to “brown” baked goods, such as pretzels. Yum.
