Are you in the mood for Chinese food? We have just the recipe for you!
You can be sure that this healthy dish does not have the chemical food additive MSG, monosodium glutamate, which is a neurotoxin that is commonly found in Chinese food. MSG can cause nausea, headaches, weakness, flushing sweating, heart palpitations, and chest pain, to name a few. While many Chinese restaurants have eliminated MSG, you may possibly still find it in some Chinese food and definitely in many processed foods. Always read your labels!
