Maybe MSG is useful for somebody but not me. The stuff will do you in. Some decades ago, eating at a favorite restaurant, I would get half way thru a meal and get a sharp pain at the base of my skull. After a few repeats I asked the boss what he was using for spices. Turns out they put MSG on everything. There was no way to eat at the place without getting a dose of it. So I quit.
It would take 2-3 hours after eating for the pain to quit.
The stuff, or anything like it, is not allowed in my house. I don’t have any known allergies so I just have to assume the stuff is slow poison. I don’t have any health issues, feel good all the time, so when I feel something change I know it was something I ate. For instance, a low back pain means something I tangled with pee-o—ed my liver or kidneys. So I quit. I learn fast. Don’t eat fast food. Don’t eat cold cuts. Never eat off a salad bar or smorgasbojrd. Don’t even eat off a buffet.
Seems to work since I feel good and everyone else I know bitchesandmoans about how they feel?

There is one place here where it is safe to eat out. The food is marvelous. Absolutely the best. The owner/chef is a friend of mine. Her husband is a naturopath and chiropractor.
I Asked her about the ingredients she uses, specifically the fats and oils - Nothing but extra virgin olive oil and butter except in some of her pastries which of course I don't eat anyway.
She gets fish from the local fishing fleet and eggs from local backyard sources on the island. She even serves moose and venison harvested locally when available. She bakes her own bread for her sandwiches.
Closed on Sunday like most businesses in town.
One more blessing of small town Alaska.
