MSG has long been considered by Westerners to be the culprit of "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" (CRS). After two Australian scientists released the results of heir research, however, it was revealed that MSG is merely the scapegoat of researchers 'subjective judgments. In fact, the effect that MSG has on the human body is much less than was previously imagined.
由於澳洲兩位科學家發表一項研究結果指出，長久以來，被西方人認為是「中國餐廳癥候群」元凶的味精，經過他們有系統地研究，發現只是在實驗者主觀評斷下的「代罪羔羊」，味精對人體的影響，其實不如想像的多。
