re is msg sensitivity superstition in article c krl t dartvax dartmouth edu oldman coos dartmouth edu prakash das writes in article apr llyene jpl nasa gov julie eddie jpl nasa gov julie kangas writes as for how foods taste if i m not allergic to msg and i like the taste of it why shouldn t i use it saying i shouldn t use it is like saying i shouldn t eat spicy food because my neighbor has an ulcer julie it doesn t necessarily follow that you should use it msg or something else for that matter simply because you are not allergic to it for example you might not be allergic to animal fats and like their taste yet it doesn t follow that you should be using them regularly msg might have other bad or good i am not up on knowledge of msg effects on your body in the long run maybe that s reason enough not to use it perhaps i should quit eating mushrooms soya beans and brie cheese which all have msg in them it occurs naturally i m not going to quit eating something that i like just because it might cause me trouble later or causes problems in some people i would much rather avoid stress by not worrying over what goes in my mouth and not spending every day reading conflicting reports of what is good bad for you i may eat some things in quantities that may not be good for me fine i ve made my decision and i don t think it s appropriate for anyone to try to convert me it s for your own good are the most obnoxious and harmful words imo in the english or any other language altho your example of the ulcer is funny it isn t an appropriate comparison at all i think it is i get tired of people saying don t eat x because it s bad well x may not be bad for everyone and even if it is so what give people all the information but don t ram your decisions down their throats julie disclaimer all opinions here belong to my cat and no one else
