Actually Michael, msg is made by a fermentation process using starch, beet sugar, cane sugar, etc.. and not of a type of salt.. I don't care if it's in my popcorn, I'd still eat it anyway :p but again, I'll have to find some in order to eat them, I cant find any where I live.. egh! (msg isn't dangerous for your health, by the way)...

Why does my toasted bread contain glucose-fructose syrup?! what's that...?

dee-86,

The reason your bread contains high fructose syrup is because it is a cheap form of sugar. The yeast in the bread needs a sugar to metabolize for the bread to rise. Light fluffy bread is desirable, and this is an economical way to do this. Check out your bread asile almost every bread contains this ingriedient.
