No seriously MSG occurs naturally in a lot of stuff, like mushrooms. You're not going to get cancer or anything for putting a bit of it in your fried rice or anything. It's probably less harmful than salt. MSG is good folks.
Kinda wondered if that was why it gives me headaches. Its the same thing that happens when I gorge on salted popcorn or eat a bag of salted potato chips in one sitting.
GOOD post.

It is. It's the sodium in the MSG that gives that effect of dehydrating you.
Okay, that's what I thought.
