In reply to glutamates- naturally occuring. what's cordial?? » Meri-Tuuli, posted by llrrrpp on August 30, 2006, at 8:12:39
Hiya!
Cordial is like condensed, er, fruit 'stuff' that you dilute with water sort of 3 parts water, 1 part cordial, or 'to taste'. There are loads of different ones here - just plain condensed fruit cordials (healthy), right up to ones loaded with artifical colourings, preservatives, flavours, sweetners, and which have probably never seen a piece of fruit (obviously unhealthy).
I personally drink just plain mineral water, either fizzy or still. I watch out for the ones lowest in nitrates. I sometimes drink pure fruit juice or good old British tea but thats about it. I find it very easy to follow, but then well I dunno. Once you get into a habit... and I also drink beer and wine, not so good.
MSG is bad news....it isn't supposed to be 'healthy'. Its a *artifical* flavour enhancer ( as opposed to say, salt, herbs etc) that tricks your brain into thinking that what you are tasting is more tastier, than in actual fact it is - its an actual chemical compound that does this.
I get headaches after I've eaten stuff with it in.
Yeah I like vollkornbrot and rye bread in general. Good with cheese. Finnish bread is pretty dark and dense - even more chewy than volkornbrot would you believe.
Kind regards
