MSG and aspartame (like Equal or NutraSweet) make me very ill so I've learned to read labels, make more nutritious foods at home, and eat out only at restaurants that don't use MSG. My allergies, jumpy nerves and headaches have cleared up. But even for people who don't have symptoms, it makes me wonder what these excitotoxins are doing to them? Put it this way: my grandkids don't get fed MSG. Nuff said. Healthy definitely tastes best!

Maybe it depends if your are senitive to it? Also read about it attacking the nerves, don't know about that. It did make food taste better.

It took her awhile to realize that MSG was the culprit. She's fine now as long as she doesn't eat it. My sister in law had horrible migraines. It took her awhile to realize that MSG was the culprit.

MSG is sold in little plastic bags right next to salt in Asian supermarkets. If high MSG consumption can trigger Parkinson's or Alzheimer's, then Asians should show very high rates of these diseases.
