Oyster And Fish Sauce

[james24]

Are there any healthy/not that bad for you brands of oyster and fish sauce?

I understand that there is the "healhty boy" brand but Im actually looking for a product that is kind of known for being healthy for you.

Healthy boy is a brand name that somebdy used before anybody else thought of it. Look at the labels, they all have the same things in them. You must make the choice if it's good or bad for you and whether it will cause you to "kick the bucket" a day earlier if you use it. Get Real!

Possibly the most pointless and unhelpful post you could have written, seriously what was the point.

I asked a question, you obviously dont know the answer to it as they dont all have the same things in them. Instead of giving your arrogant opinion of which I have no interest in save your energy.

OK guys knock it off. With all the problems in the world, no need to have a flamefest over fish sauce

(OP - afraid I don't know the answer)

This is a very good questions and many people do care what they put in their bodies as everyone should. It is about being informed.. and making informed decisions. When I eat something unhealthy at least I am aware of it and not under some false illusion that it is healthy ..

Most fish and oyster sauces are just sodium and chemicals. I have heard some fish sauce does not even have fish and some soy sauce does not even have soya.

There is ..it is a brand called mega chef that does Oyster and Fish sauces with no preservatives or MSG. . or artificial colours.

Email them and ask them where you can find their products. The webiste is in English and Thai and when a company makes something like this I think it is so important to support them!

also for healthy soy sauce there is an online health food store in Thailand selling an organic wheat free soy sauce

I know! and you are welcome!

Also for anyone reading this check out the "ribo Rash"

http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/factsheets/635/RIBO1.htm

These chemicals are in Maggi soy sauce.

When ever i See young thais with horrible acne I wonder if it is from all this chemical crp.

For the record that flavour pack in Mama Noodles ( a Thai food staple) is loaded with MSG

I once had a ribo rash from eating to many white chocolate Hersey things. At 3am I was stripping the bed convinced i had something from the cats. after further reaserch I realized it was a food allergy. and yes perhaps I should have not eaten so many of those oreo hershey things at work and I did know it was poised but just not how bad.

some other good resources

This is part of a ribo - disodium inosinate,

Probably in Oyster and Fish sauce.

I cant be 100% sure but ever since getting to Thailand my skin has become alot more itchy at times than it ever has been before. I have always thought it was the washing powder so I now make my own. However I still get redness on my chest sometimes. So it could be this or something else, guess Ill know soon

Thanks for your help, this is great so right about msg aswell, too much glutamate in the brain is not a good idea neurologically.

My wife claims "HOY NANG ROM" brand, the one with oyster on the label, is the best. Most Thai people like "SQUID" brand though.
