  1. There are so many fat asians.

  2. msg makes me very restless – late night snack with it in and no sleep – gauranteed.

  3. MSG makes me swell with fluid that can take days of diuretics to reverse. Unfortunately so does alcohol. MSG is flavour inhancer number E621 and is in obvious processed foods such as instant noodles but most potato chips or snacks that are chicken or BBQ "flavoured" contain MSG. Most powdered stocks are also full of it. Some soy sauces also contain it so when your local Asian takeaway says "no added MSG" they just mean they dont use the MSG powder. It is still present in cheaper soy sauce that they use for cooking.

    1. Oh and its also used to tenderise meat. If you buy meat that is in a marinade or is particularly tender ie it really does 'melt' in your mouth when cooked, its probably MSG.

  4. i am not really fond of MSGs… i have already lived my life without it that i can tell if a dish has it or not. And the fact that it doesn't really affect the flavor of the food itself it just tricks the mind to believe that the food is delicious.

  5. MSG-Induced Obesity:
    MSG is actually injected into laboratory rats to induce obesity. There are many many scientific studies done using these MSG treated rats since rats are not naturally overweight. It also has been shown to increase appetite in male rats and to induce obesity in female rats and chickens. Scientists in Spain have recently concluded that MSG when given to mice increase appetite by as much as 40%.
