Article is total BS. Just because something is “safe”, doesn’t mean it won’t sicken a large percentage of the population or even kill some of them.
Peanuts are “safe” but can instantly kill a child who is allergic.
A significant percentage of Caucasians are genetically unable to metabolize lactose.
Gluten will tremendously sicken those with Celiac disease and mildly sicken even more who are sensitive to the stuff.
Large numbers of people are sickened by sodium metabisulfite.
Really, the list of substances like these is very large.
And MSG is one of them.
Personally, larger amounts of MSG, any amount of aspartame, or any amount of Stevia will instantly give me a vicious headache.
I have thought about using Stevia in my coffee so I could cut back on the sugar. Maybe I’ll re think it. What kind of reaction did you have?
Stevia to me is like a troll coming over and banging on my head with a mallet.
It is exquisitely torturous.
