You’ll also learn about hidden ingredients in common foods that hijack your hormones, brain chemistry and metabolism driving food addiction and weight gain. Did you know that the food industry hides MSG (monosodium glutamate) in most processed foods by giving it over 50 different names like hydrolyzed yeast extract?
