Msg

[JG1]

Whats the scoop on this stuff? Is it really bad for you, or is that just a myth?

I've been using a lot of Goya Sazon lately on chicken, and the first ingredient is MSG

There is no definitive truth about MSG

it is not harmful as some still think but some people can be sensitive to MSG

In few cases (rare) MSG causes adverse reactions like asthma, migraine headaches and seizures.

it is also said to be the cause of the "chinese restaurant syndrom"

Don't abuse it but from time to time it is OK

what the hell is "chinese restaurant syndrom"

 

[anthrax]

what the hell is "chinese restaurant syndrom"

Chinese Restaurant Syndrome is a combination of symptoms that include feelings of burning, flushing, tingling and tightness - symptoms that some people experience after eating a meal from a Chinese restaurant.

and MSG is the supposed cause of the chinese restaurant syndrome

Are you still cutting, JG1? Besides headaches, I've heard that MSG can slow down or halt fat loss. Anything the body perceives to be a poison - and ergo a threat to homeostasis - will change your metabolism...

As far as water retention is concerned, wouldn't MSG and regular sodium be the same, mg per mg?

 

[satchboogie]

not quite sure about that one but i do know that a day after eating msg i get puffy like i'm on 200mg a day of anadrol.

Guess I'll ditch the Sazon........go back to sprinkling some Old Bay on my chicken.
