I stopped reading after it was stated it was the result of racism. Is
there a summary beyond that from this article? Maybe that MSG has
caused a world full of gluten intolerance?

============

I didn't read it all, but I was interested to read this:

"none of the writers described experiencing the

"he had never experienced
the syndrome before his arrival in the United States."

Was that explained later on?
