MSG is good and gets too much of a bad rap for being bad for you because of xenophobes. That's it, that's the post.

    Seems like the MSG headache thing is real for some people, but yeah otherwise just bury me in that shit.

    And as other people pointed out, the sodium in it can dehydrate you, so wouldn't surprise me if that related to the headache stuff.

      From the research I've seen, the headaches are because of the excess sodium, which is the same as with salt.

      Msg can contribute to seizures in sensitive people, but so can anything containing glutamates, like cured meat, aged cheese and even some vegetables.
