“MSG has been used for more than 100 years to season food. During this period, extensive studies were conducted to elucidate the role, benefits and safety of MSG. At this point, International and national bodies for the safety of food additives consider MSG safe for human consumption as a flavor enhancer. The “MSG symptom complex” was originally termed as the “Chinese restaurant syndrome” when anecdotally Robert Ho Man Kwok reported the symptoms he felt after an American-Chinese meal. Kwok suggested multiple reasons behind the symptoms, including alcohol from cooking with wine, the sodium content, or the MSG seasoning. But MSG became the focus and the symptoms have been associated with MSG ever since. The effect of wine or salt content was never studied.”
Anyone who hates MSG is a racist and an enemy of savory. Never to be trusted. (via rgr-pop)
