Boy, I love Chinese food. I eat it at least three times a week. (I can't see poop either, hmmmm)

Can I just eat MSG till I need glasses?

Ohguro acknowledges that large amounts of MSG were used, 20 per cent of the total diet in the highest group. "Lesser amounts should be OK," he says.

Rats on the moderate diet also had damage, to a lesser extent.

democRATs have always been blind, politically.

LOL. I just got back from an 'all you can eat' Chinese lunch.

True. Maybe in China. In California, I haven't seen a Chinese joint that uses MSG for decades. I DO know that it gives me a semi-migrane headache. Nobody uses it anymore. I don't even know why they wasted their time on this study.

Too much MSNBC can cause blindness too. But, since nobody watches, it is no big deal.
