Those are allergic reactions.

The sheen is probably from using corn starch for thickening.

Excito toxin. Shill for big food trying to tell you the yellow stream on your leg is pristine spring water.

Cook from scratch. As much as possible.
Bake you own bread.
Make your own tomato sauce.
Plant a little herb garden.

Flavored gelatin desserts (just kidding).

Total eradication of MSG in your diet? Probably not, but I would wager, significantly lowered.

“Glaring red flag alarm: If MSG is healthy yet so threatened by ‘misinformation’, when was the last time you heard about it???”

The take-out I frequent for the occassional egg roll advertises “No MSG” on a prominently displayed entrance window placard, on an outlined nag box on the takeout menu.

Oh no in old skool Chinatown places you can be assured its loaded with MSG the way its supposed to be if in doubt ask them Absolutely delicious and what I expect from a proper Chinatown place. I want the MSG it don’t taste like it should without it. Sucks for people who are sensitive to it but like peanuts that’s y’alls Fng problem not mine. I don’t change my diet or eating because some other chump has “issues” with it dont eat at that place then.

My wife says it makes her face feel funny. I say “it doesn’t look any funnier to me.” Two thirds of the world depends on it to make their food edible.

I used to eat those Ramen Noodles all the time years ago but if I do it now I get viciously thirsty for 3 hours that no amount of water will do anything at all for. I’d guess it’s the msg. There are a few other things that provoke a slight thirst but only Ramen takes it up to torture level.

--- "Monosodium glutamate has a terrible rap due to decades of anecdotal reports and xenophobia—but it's probably nowhere near as detrimental to your health as you think.?

How odd. A chemical is now among those "strangers or foreigners" of the classic definition.

It will be interesting to see as avoidance of chemicals used in food processing is deemed racist, homophobic, Islamophobic and transphobic.

The MSN already ticked two boxes: xenophobia and FEAR.

"Few ingredients inspire as much fear as MSG...."

Let’s just say after eating takeout Chinese food I’m parked on the throne for a day.

Same thing for son #3.

the FDA explains.

There you go, if you can't trust the FDA who can you trust?

That’s not what I was referencing, but I sense you know that.

It does make food taste better but it also makes me very tired afterward eating anything with it. The makers of various products that use it know what it does as they have lines of food that say ‘No MSG’ and ‘No High Fructose Syrup’.

MSG is hidden by a hundred different names so it is hard to avoid.
