It's the same hysteria with MSG. Some Chinese guy writes a letter to the
New England Journal of Medicine describing a set of reactions that he
got when eating at Chinese restaurants in the US and speculates on some
ingredients that might be responsible for it - MSG being one of them.
This rings a chord with people and the idea goes viral even before there
was Youtube. Chinese Restaurant Syndrome was born and the rest is
history. It was the letter that shook heaven and earth - culinarily
speaking. :-)
