- I agree that 60 Minutes, in general, is one of the better programs
- on TV and they do make mistakes...
- HOWEVER, MSG is a real problem for some. I can tell within 2 hours
- when I have inadvertantly eaten a restaurant meal laced with MSG.
- My heart rate goes up and I get shaky like I just drank some powerful
- coffee. It does pass, apparently w/o harm, but I don't enjoy being
- revved up like that. Now, unless I know in advance about a Chinese
- resturant's avoidance of MSG, I don't eat at them anymore. (They
- have been the biggest users of MSG in the past to my knowledge.)
