Commentspost new comment11/12/2008 1:18:00 PM Nevermind the artificial ingredients focus of this soup war---canned soups, all of them, including most of the ORGANIC soups are packaged in cans that contain BPA in the can lining...Bisphenol-A is a much bigger health concern than MSG, and another reason to reconnect with your food and MAKE YOUR OWN from fresh, ORGANIC produce, herbs and spices. |

Ok, So here it is. MSG is very bad, makes me want to die, literally. Shouldn't have been in soup in the first place. WHY OH WHY do we give credit to people who have been poisoning us for decades? Soup wars- Are you kidding me? Make your own or as we say at our farm GROW YOUR OWN. My husband, The Organic Chef, Al Rosas makes 100% of his soups WITHOUT MSG since 1985, because he loves me and doesn't want to take me to the ER. SO THERE!!!
