We have noticed, however, that the imported berries in the supermarket are exceptionally large this year. Is that due to AuxiGro? We\u2019ll probably never know, but where fruits and vegetables are concerned, bigger isn\u2019t always better.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve told you previously about a product called AuxiGro, a plant yield enhancer that contains MSG\u2019s toxic component manufactured free glutamate.
