Why do/Do you eat MSG?

[khaxnguyen]

MSG or Monosodium glutamate
Some people say it's not healthy. Some people say it's absolutely fine to have msg. Some people just stay the hell away from it. Some people don't know what it is.

We have all different types of minerals in our bodies. I think too much of one thing is bad for you. i.e. too much protein, you get protein poison. Nickel, blind, etc. I think it's fine to eat MSG.(no research)

everything is fine in moderation. it makes your food tastes better but like everything else..

I try my best to stay away from that because I am lucky enough to be graced with migraine headaches. That stuff kills me.

MSG is an artificial sodium based flavor enhancer and preservative. Foods that have MSG tend to have significantly high levels of Sodium (duh) and the other major problem is that many people are starting to develop sever allergies to it, with death being very possible if not treated in a timely manner.

MSG is basically what you get when you chemically bong Sodium and Wheat Gluten.


this is all personal assumption, this information may or may not be accurate.

for those who like instant noodles, there's lots of msg in there. consumption of too much msg has been linked to many cases of baldness in both males and females. keep eating those things and your head will be shinier than a freshly waxed car. :crazy:

i saw a show on food network where they tested the whole msg thing and its total crap. it is fine and it is even found naturally in soy products. moderation is key.
