Xanthine gum does not change the taste at all. Its literally made from fermented sugar. It is in so many foods and sauces.

Xanthan Gum can cause rare bloating in those with a sensitivity to gluten.

I read it can also cause flu like symptoms which it has with me so I try to avoid it like the plague!!

With all the processed food/drink it appears you consume and being in the USA I'd say it would be almost impossible to avoid.

Lactic Acid is a natural preservative and is created and used by the body. It is NOT bad.

MSG really isn't bad, many don't understand it so label it as bad. It is a really good and natural flavour enhancer, derived from glutamate acid and adds a savory, meaty "umami" taste to foods like soups, sauces, and meats.

I use a pinch in stews, stir fries and Chinese fried chicken at home.

MSG is also found naturally in Tomatoes, cheese and mushrooms.
