yes i agree, it seems most of the folks going through the mental gymnastics
of this "thread" on MSG don't write as if they have ever had a reaction
other than thirst or mild headache.  Take it from someone whose last
meal from a chinese restaurant, that claimed NO MSG, sent them to the
hospital.  When your arms and legs go numb, your heart is palpitating,
and you are about to pass out there is no way you can convince them
that they are "blowing it out of proportion."  you shouldn't be so judgemental
about something that you have never experienced.


just my 2 cents
