I have just polished off a bag of corn snacks that had Monosodium Glutamate in them, and remembered all the bad press associated with it. I know one of the main types of food that are supposedly full of it are Chinese takeaways/restaurants over here.
Does anyone have any thoughts or can anyone direct me to any reputable information about MSG and the damage it can do? Is it just a myth that it's unilaterally bad for you?
I have to say in the past I haven't really noticed or cared, and the same applies now really, but seeing it in big writing on the back of the packet has just piqued my interest.
A google search just comes up with a load of propaganda type pages, and wikipedia has just general information.
