I am finding some information on MSG and gelatin being discussed, and though I did not pay attention to it earlier, I am researching it now. The concept that natural sourced, minimally processed, additive free powdered gelatin harbors a harmful substance did not seem right to me. greatlakesgelatin/consumer/noMSG.php I know many members in this group use Great Lakes Gelatin products, and here is a rather comprehensive analysis and explanation of the issue on their website. For those who cant access the link or dont have time to, here is the most relevant part: Please note the glutamic acid in gelatin at 11% are bound in the protien chain. It is only the free (not bound) amino acid that is a cause for concern. Free glutamic acid results with gelatin is at 0.01% and collagen hydrolysate is at 0.09%. We typically find more free glutamic acid in human blood than in our gelatins. I think this means that homemade bone broth is fine, too, as it offers the full set of proteins, in which the glutamic acid is naturally present. In this form, it is not only not harmful, but part of the essential elements that work in concert with the others to put the protein conversion factor into production. Its a good thing. :) Now Im off to search on gelatin capsules...
