The article had a pretty clear position it was arguing for, so rather than read to the end, I jumped out of the author&#x27;s narrative and searched PubMed (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;?term=monosodium+glutamate+randomized+controlled+trial+headache" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;?term=monosodium+glutamat...</a>). Of the first page of results, two were randomized placebo-controlled trials of MSG administration (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;23565943" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;23565943</a> and <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;9215242" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;9215242</a>) and both had positive results.
