The Rotten Science Behind the MSG Scare

If you’re downvoting, please also explain your arguments and contribute to the discussion. I think it is more beneficial if we talk instead of shutting people down because their views are different than what you expect.

If I had to guess a lot of people view the article as ethno-politically motivated instead of just involving science.

And we choose to downvote to depict what we want HN to represent rather risk getting piggy backed with “how dare you” rebuttals and downvoted as I’m sure I’m about to receive…

I have a giant bag of Aji-No-Moto in my pantry. It’ll last me the rest of my life because I use it sparingly. And I do so because it seems like we truly don’t know if msg is harmless. I couldn’t imagine a synthetic food product being harmless but that’s obviously my uneducated guess.

It frustrates me that there’s people out there who think I can’t hold those opinions without being labeled some sort of Xenophobe.

MSG is no more synthetic than tofu or yogurt.

That MSG isn't any more synthetic than the lactic acid in kimchi.
