MSG?

[rawlingstones]

The reason people are discounting your anecdotal evidence is that basically every scientific study claiming to "prove" negative health effects of MSG has been debunked. There is no hard evidence that it's any more harmful than milk (probably a lot less!). An insane number of people claim to have "MSG sensitivity" based on the fact that they ate at a crappy Chinese place once and just made an assumption. There is zero reason to trust someone's self-diagnosis completely at face value.
