Answer: A staple of many kitchens, Campbell's Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup, is not as wholesome for your kids as the label would have you believe. Among the fake food ingredients, this long-time favorite has monosodium glutamate, or MSG, which is a neurotoxin - toxic or poisonous to the nervous system. It also has 890 mg of sodium per serving for a whopping 37% of an adult's daily intake of sodium.The can has 2 1/2 servings, so if you were to eat the whole can, you would have consumed almost your recommended daily amount of sodium!

REAL Alternative: Homemade chicken soup is not only delicious, but has healing minerals.  It is easy to make and you can freeze the chicken stock,  making it easy to have chicken noodle soup quickly whenever you want to serve it to your family. You can add whole grain noodles or try quinoa for even more nutrition. And, when you make it yourself  you don't have to worry about your child getting neurotoxins like MSG.
