Topic: MSG

[adriandavidb]

Hi

Firstly apologies, I have been in the past a reasonabley frequent contributor on here, but in the last couple of years have been a bit lazy!

I remember a while back some discussion on the 'MSG is bad for you' myth (opps, dare I say that!).  One contributer supplied a link to an article that explained things very well.  Having been remiss enough not to make a note of it at the time, I now find myself unable to track it down.

I'd really appreciate any pointers on where to go!

Many thanks

Adrian

Thanks ELW; not the one I had in mind but very interesting thanks: increased my knoweledge of what foodstuffs contain lots of natural glutamates!

Found it though, here:

Great article there.
I tested the use of msg at home after suffering stomach pains from various Chinese curry sauces, dishes & knorr stock cubes. I added a branded msg product called Chinese Salt to some soup i made & sure enough around 1 hr later i had stomach pains. A great example I found in its effect on flavour is using the chinese curry paste recipe on here http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,4653.0.html by artistpaul. Without msg this paste could not be eaten. Very strange
