Use & Safety of MSG




What is MSG?

Monosodium Glutamate is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, a chemical used as a flavour enhancer in many foods, giving it a savoury taste. It gives foods extra taste and is often found in a lot of Asian restaurants and as well as American fast foods.

Glutamate is a naturally occurring amino acid, broken down protein. Meat, fish, chicken, and various dairy products are examples of foods, which are rich in glutamate. Other foods such as soy/oyster/Worcestershire sauces and tomato products are high in glutamate.

Asian restaurants are always high in glutamate, due to the type of food and various sauces they use in their dishes. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration, when exposed to 3g of MSG in the absence of food may have a short term affect on your health.



Despite many rumours of MSG in many foods, mainly with bad side effects with its use. However MSG is one of the most extensively researched substances over 40 years and has been found to be a safe food additive.

SUBWAY! Eat Fresh.


Subway is a fantastic place to have either have breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is fast, healthy, tasty and cheap.
Nothing is fried or high in calories. We wish that they would open up more subway franchises and keep us Australians looking good and healthy.

Have you guys ever noticed that subway doesn't have drive through? So when ever you want to eat at subway, you have to park your car and come inside. This is a great marketing idea not only is the food healthy but the idea of parking your car and walking inside to order instantly at least kills a few calories before you consume one of their tasteful subs. 

Not only does Subway cater to those who wants to eat foot longs or 6 inches but it also cater to those who want to eat meat and salad only(salad bowls). The way Subway has laid out their stores from one side to the other has allowed customers to choose their bread, meat and then salads. This has recreated the dimensions of ordering normal normal food into making your own master piece. Only Subway allows you to make your own magnificent customized master piece

Another reason on why Subway is so different is that they care about what we eat by letting us know how many calories we have consumed by literally printing the calories on the serviettes. Do you know any other fast food franchise's that does that? They also provide a different variety of bread which helps digestion or diets. As well as that they also provide low fat sauces which is good for those who are on a diet. Those who are on a diet don't need to stress out on not having sauce in their subs but can now decide what type of sauces to have from their many ranges or low fat sauces.

For those of you who have never tried Subway, well let me tell you! You guys are missing out! Go try it today!
