Why MSG in Chinese Food Is Perfectly Safe #msg #chinesefood

Any nutritionists out there. This video and article on Business Insider seem to imply that MSG is perfectly safe to ingest. When I order Chinese food I aways request No MSG because I always heard it was bad. What do you think?

MSG gives some people migraines and for those with epilepsy can trigger seizures within 2hrs of ingestion.

But they are saying the body produces a type of MSG..not saying it is true but are we believing it because we have repeatedly heard it. I think they call it the "placebo" effect.

No I do not believe it is a placebo effect at all.

I recall the MSG outrage. Had a conversation recently where I was informed there was no scientific proof that MSG was bad for you. While yes it does make some people ill as Kia noted, that can be chalked up as any other food allergy.

I checked it out, and only found that it gave some people headaches etc. If you are trying to stay away from processed foods, then this is one to avoid.

Personally, I don't have any side-effects from MSG. So I don't worry about it anymore.
