The bad reaction has a lot to do with quantity. And whether it occurs naturally.

Huh? The average person consumes 10 times more glutamate from naturally occurring sources than from added sources. If you get headaches from the added sources, then you must also get them from the naturally occurring sources. These people should have migraines after every meal, but they don't. Of course, if you eat several heaping spoonfuls of MSG straight, then you could have a negative reaction. Bad things can happen anytime you overwhelm the body with something. I don't know of anyone eating straight MSG in mass quantities, but you may travel in different circles.

MSG is not the problem, but making it the problem solves the problem of having to find out what is the problem actually is. This is why emotion and science don't go well together.

Why are you so riled up? What difference does it make to you if I chose to avoid MSG because it makes me sick?? Sounds like you’re pushing MSG...work for a distributor or something? The stuff some of you chose to get worked up about is amazing. We are all different. MSG makes me sick, yes even to much of the NATURAL KIND. Now, drop it!

Oh give it a rest, will ya? You said something that doesn’t make any sense and I simply pointed it out. You’re the one getting her knickers in a knot. I could care less if you make choices based on ignorance. Anytime someone disagrees with you it’s because they must have a business interest in it. That makes about as much sense as believing that something your body produces naturally (glutamate), and has to have to function properly (glutamate again), makes you sick. You must be sick all the time. Good grief.
