Lots of people get an allergic reaction from gluten
True, I tend to avoid those that are…
Because I love gluten and don't carry an epipen…
Lots of people get an allergic reaction from jv's posts
Why can't we read jv's posts and eat them too? https://64.media.tumblr.com/e5bf667e7f482fbb780eabae721c65ae…
First world problems.
Glutamate is everywhere, and essential. If you were allergic, you'd be dead already.
Even MSG intolerance is one of those made-up diseases, like Electromagnetic hypersensitivity, Chronic Lyme disease, or covid-19.
(… do I really, really need a /jk ??)
An allergy to an essential amino acid would.
@bargaino: I just logged in to vote you up. Ignorance like that JV displayed in their post is the reason we get into such backward-thinking messes in the first place.
Have you actually been to a medical professional and got yourself tested for MSG allergies?
Like others said if you are actually allergic to MSG you basically can't eat any processed or fast food.
Added MSG gives me headaches.
Nocebo. If you believe you will get a headache, I'm sure you will report feeling a headache
If you believe you will get a headache
Often I find out after I eat it…
So there goes that theory.

Everytime 'after' you have eaten something and not had a headache, have you then checked the ingredients to confirm no MSG?
Lots of people get an allergic reaction from eggs and nuts too.
Do you post allergic reaction comments on deals for nuts and eggs?
you have been taking it wrong. you should sniff it in.
why so weak
Too much Uncle Roger bro.
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer that occurs naturally in some foods. Here are 20 common foods that naturally contain MSG:
Quit while you're slightly behind
Just like salt
what do you think sugar and salt it…
Whats your point? We love msg. If you take equal amounts of msg and table salt (by weight), the latter contains more sodium which causes more health problems with excessive use.
21 . Doritos
Hope they don't eat tomatoes then… or KFC…
If they get allergic reaction to them too, hopefully not…
Let's be clear. MSG is perfectly safe and other commenters have made it clear that it is. If you have a bad time because you get headaches - logically there may be a lot of sodium with the food that you are eating. Because sometimes you need to add "more natural sources of msg" i.e. Soy Sauce, it has an added downside of increasing sodium content of dishes.
MSG allows you to increase flavours without adding extra sodium into the thing. Higher MSG use is obviously bad - but so long as you're not dumping a giant amount of it. Even the NSW food authority says that it doesn't make up for inferior quality food. https://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/consumer/keeping-food-s…
Let's be clear. MSG is perfectly safe
Not clear… As mentioned before, it gives me headaches, dizziness and nausea… I don't consider it 'safe' for people who have adverse reactions to it…
Anecdotal evidence is the lowest form of evidence.
logically there may be a lot of sodium with the food that you are eating.
Salt doesn't give me headaches and nausea…

A movie titled Nocebo has nothing to do with the fact you believe a negative outcome comes from your consumption of MSG.
Higher MSG use is obviously bad
Maybe what is not high for you, is high for others ????????
You needed 3 comments to respond to mine? So if you read the article
MSG is one of the most extensively researched substances in the food supply and has been studied for more than 40 years.
Numerous international scientific assessments have been conducted, involving hundreds of studies. None of these have conclusively linked MSG to asthma or ‘Chinese Restaurant Syndrome’.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) reviewed the safety of MSG in 2003 concluding ‘there is no convincing evidence that MSG is a significant factor in causing systemic reactions resulting in severe illness or mortality’.
In Australia and New Zealand, no food additive — including MSG — is approved for use in food until its safety has been established by FSANZ. MSG and other glutamates are among a group of food additives that are generally permitted in foods, due to their safety.
Even so, a very small number of people who are sensitive to a range of foods, especially those with asthma, may be sensitive to glutamate.
If you're that very few, then that is truly unfortunate for you. But you can't deny that MSG exists in a large amount of foods already. I've literally eaten a spoon of MSG to prove a point. Maybe you're just overall weak/frail lol.
Examples of foods naturally high in glutamates include:
@KennyBrea: Facts don't work with the likes of jv, once they have made up their mind about some conspiracy you can't get them out of it. It's mental.
about some conspiracy
No conspiracy here…
My GP confirmed it and told me to avoid food with added MSG.
hold your opinion to yourself, no one gives a shit 😂
same back…😂
don't just respond to me when u getting destroyed by facts from other comments 🤣
A white boy talks negative about msg. Why am I not surprised
Lots of people get an allergic reaction from MSG.
Lots of people get allergic reactions to eating unicorn poo also. Oh wait, that's just fantasy
I blame Dan Andrews
Is that the packet of ajinomoto just under his belly button?
"and a little bit of yum yum"
tiktok chef?
You're like Ozbargain version of MSG
Is it safe though?
Best product comparison I have seen so far on this website.
So that must mean you get headaches from naturally MSG rich foods like carrot, onion, cabbage, potato, egg yolk, parmesan cheese, soy sauce, anchovies, prawns, molasses, sugarcane, sugar beet, beans, mushrooms, and seaweed?
So that must mean you get headaches from naturally MSG
How?
Don't forget tomato's!
@jv: Tomato's one of the naturally occuring foods that contains the naturally occuring chemical chemical MSG, which you may be sensitive to.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate
Unless, of course, it's just the succulent Chinese Restaurant Syndrome that you're impacted by.
which you may be sensitive to.
Tomatoes don't affect me, only foods with added artificial MSG.
@jv: MSG, made out of all that artificial stuff… like cane, sugar beets, cassava or corn… wait those are all natural!
What is MSG made of? Today, the MSG (monosodium glutamate) produced by the Ajinomoto Group is produced through fermentation of plant-based ingredients such as sugar cane, sugar beets, cassava or corn
MSG, made out of all that artificial stuff…
Yes, it uses genetically modified bacteria.
Here is a recent study….
@jv: That's not a scientific study. The first 4 words of the article are, literally:
Letter to the editor:
Here is a recent study….(ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
That's a letter to the editor. Not a study.. Quite a significant difference between an opinion piece and the rigor of a study.
Albert Einstein wrote opinion pieces.
Opinion pieces are fine. labelling an opinion piece a study is either a mistake or deliberate dishonesty.
Tomatoes don't affect me, only foods with added artificial MSG.
Well from food authority NSW
The human body treats MSG the same as natural glutamate found in food. For instance, the body does not distinguish between free glutamate from tomatoes, cheese or mushrooms and the glutamate from MSG added to foods. Glutamate is glutamate, whether naturally present or from MSG.
So I guess JV is super sensitive to "artificial" MSG and definitely not psychosomatic like everyone else who claims chinese restaurant syndrome.
So I guess JV is super sensitive
No, just allergic to it. It's quite common.

@jv: Care detail how you set up your double blind test? And what controls you used to rule out as many other variables as possible?
Care detail how you set up your double blind test?
I ate products with and without added MSG, and only the ones with MSG affected me.
@jv: So you ate commercially made products? How was it "double blind"? How did you remove the variable that it wasn't any other ingredient(s) in the product causing the issue?
So you ate commercially made products?
Yes. I always check the ingredients first now and avoid MSG.
I've done double-blind tests.
So you've not really done any test of significance, just like every other person claiming issues with msg. If you involved yourself in a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial You'll find that you're not that special and there are other explanations/causes for your "allergy". But keep your confirmation bias going by ignoring any information to the contrary. Good work tiger.
why so weak …..why so weak?
It could be dehydration giving you a headache because they are usually used for salty foods. Any salty food may dehydrate your body and not drinking enough water after it, will give you a headache.
It's only bad for you if it affects you… It gives me a headache.

Tell me the name of a country that Domino's Pizza is banned in. Or Doritos, for that matter.
Next time you have a bag of Doritos on hand, take a closer look at the ingredients list, and pay close attention if it mentions "flavour enhancer E621".
