I normally buy Ajinomoto MSG Seasoning 500g for $5 but they tripled the price

I haven't tried this one but should be the same shit that gives people headaches or whatever. Not saying some people legit are allergic, or have a physical reaction to MSG, but it has been proven to be safe and is in everything.

        I find if I eat anything high in sodium it has the effect of preventing me from sleeping properly. Dunno if anyone else experiences the same. YMMV

    This has been a staple in many cusines for long time, but outside Asia it used to be demonised and people still get phantom headaches from it.

    Reminds me of those European mums genuinenly scared for their children dying of pneumonia if they don't put on scarves, while Aussie kids go to school in shorts in 5 degrees.

      Haha we had a friend who got into that hysteria as a kid when it was all in the news. Was definitely way blown out of proportion then. And he also lives off spicy instant noodles and other asian food now, the stuff that has MSG in.

    • hoxygt on 07/06/2024 - 13:49

      and yet if aussie kids go swimming within an hour of eating they will most certainly sink to the bottom and drown!

      Just FYI, YumYum that DimSimLim always talk about is actually not pure MSG. It is a product he created that mixes salt, pepper and MSG.

      • boneh93 on 07/06/2024 - 11:55

        It also has mushroom powder

        • TEER3X on 07/06/2024 - 12:04

          Isn't that basically just a lot of extra (naturally occuring) msg?

            @TEER3X: Mushroom bouillon adds a different flavour. I have mushroom bouillon powder purchased from my local asian grocer. It's fantastic and rich in umami but far less versatile than MSG.

    Been cooking with MSG for a few years now- it's brilliant. No complaints from anyone. For the majority of people affected, but like the taste, they can take two placebos before a meal and it will counteract the MSG nasties, so they can enjoy the meal.

        Naturopathic and doctor don't belong in the same sentence unless they are also a doctor by training

      Oh my god, it creates a man-made additive because it's processed! Must be bad eh? Don't cook your meat! That Maillard reaction is a man-made additive! The salt you're ingesting? Unless you've gone and licked it off a salt flat, it's a man-made additive!

        • banana365 on 07/06/2024 - 12:34

          Read the criteria from the posted article. Essentially, they claim that if it goes through any sort of processing that changes the original material, it's a man made additive. Even table salt goes through processing for purification, iodising etc.

            • banana365 on 07/06/2024 - 12:40

              @jv: Blame Dr. Melina Roberts for the use of that term. She's clearly internalised misogyny so deeply that she isn't aware she's doing it. Either that, or it's only men that do nasty things to food.

      • spaceflight on 07/06/2024 - 17:30

        That Maillard reaction is a man-made additive

        What about the crunchy flavour it gave the wooly mammoth when lightning struck it.

    "In many countries MSG goes by the name “China salt”. Beside its flavour enhancing effects, MSG has been associated with various forms of toxicity (Figure 1(Fig. 1)). MSG has been linked with obesity, metabolic disorders, Chinese Restaurant Syndrome, neurotoxic effects and detrimental effects on the reproductive organs."

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6952072/

    "Critical analysis of existing literature, establishes that many of the reported negative health effects of MSG have little relevance for chronic human exposure and are poorly informative as they are based on excessive dosing that does not meet with levels normally consumed in food products."

      Or perhaps do all of the above and use MSG as you would salt, pepper etc. i.e. as appropriate to enhance the flavour. Nobody is claiming MSG makes bad food good.
