- This is INCORRECT.
- The coronial inquest into the death of a 19 year old woman,who ate at
- a chinese restraunt.Concluded that the woman had died of the food additice
- Mono Sodium Glutimaye (MSG).It was proven in the autopsy that the woman had died from an allergic reaction to this substance.
-
- From memory the restraunt was still trading but has redyced the MSG used
- to suit tastes.Most places here now have signs saying "No added MSG ".
