Bullshit. MSG occurs naturally in many, many every day foods.... including
milk, especially breast milk... were many people allergic the world population
would have a very difficult time finding foods they can eat. Between 1-2% of
the world population is very mildly allergic to MSG... it's exceedingly rare
for anyone to be highly allergic. People experience Chinese Restaurant
Syndrome because Chinese cooks tend to use far more MSG than is necessary...
ergo folks experience overdose... they'd feel exactly the same were they to
consume a pound of potato chips at one sitting, from consuming excessive salt.
