Barb, I too have done some research and have found mixed reports on Braggs liquid aminos. And now after studying labeling laws and food chemicals I am more and more hesitant to use Braggs, in fact I think I'm done with it and may edit some of my recipes. Instead you may find these brands helpful as they are naturally fermented, raw and unpasteurized, making them “living food”. Ohsawa Organic Nama Shoyu (raw, unpasteurized), or Organics shoyu sauce. I really suggest extreme moderation as most of these are forms of soy and 96-98% of all soy is GMO. You would be best to use a product that says it is organic to avoid GMO's. Also, soy is controversial as to it's health effects so do your research if you are experiencing any form of ill health. It's a tough one cuz everyone loves the flavour of soy, so again, extreme moderation and organic are best. Another suggestion I read was to use dehydrated celery & lemon and then grind to a powder for a nice salty seasoning in place of Braggs- I might just have to try this. Thanks for stopping in and for pointing this out. This link here has some interesting discussion around Braggs that I read a while back that really got me thinking.

Hi, I love your website and I am slowly starting an alkaline diet for my family after some initial research. I’m only disappointed I hadn’t known about it sooner! I have one question if I may ask – Is braggs liquid aminos a form of MSG? I googled it and found forums discussing this. I live in Australia and I’m not sure if it is available here. Are there any substitutes for this ingredient in your recipes? Thanks
