There are articles linked within this article.

I think you could read everything both pro and con about MSG and still
not know for sure about anyththing. So...my take is, do what feels
right to you.

People who use MSG in their cooking like the taste of food and therefore eat
too much.

People who don't use MSG in their cooking obviously lost their taste buds
and don't give a crap what food tastes like, Therefore they don't overeat.

The important things to know about it are whether you personally like it
and whether it gives you personally problems. The rest is hysterics by
loons.

I do notice that it enhances the flavor of foods, giving them that
"whole mouth" burst of flavor. It also makes my sinuses hurt and my nose
run within 1/2 hour of eating so I try very hard to stay away from it.

Same difference. The Soviet Union was a case of the inmates taking over
the asylum.

I worry more about dad not eating at all than adding a little MSG to his
food...

You expect us to believe that adding the MSG makes it so much more
appealing that he eats it as opposed to blanking it?

Actually, yes. It makes that big of a difference.
It seems to stimulate appetite. I understand that it's not uncommon!

I used to joke that I was going to have to start doing something to make
my food taste like shit so I wouldn't eat so much.

What bugs me about MSG is its inclusion in chicken bouillon. I just
wonder why the hell it's there. Doesn't seem like "powdered chicken"
would need anything extra.

I'm not using it much for myself (except where I tend to use more salt
like on steak or eggs) because it really does enhance flavor.
Thing is, older people DO tend to lose some sense of taste or smell.
Dad's sense of smell has been reduced for some time now and I understand
that that's about 1/2 the taste of food. The MSG I think enhances
flavor enough to overcome that issue.

Heh! Try making chicken stock and not adding salt or any other
flavoring. It's pretty bland. It does not even smell good cooking.
Mom only ever made that mistake once! The smell was nauseating.

Chicken stock at least needs the addition of aromatic spices and veggies.

My standard stock ingredients a

Onions
Garlic
Celery
Carrots
Pepper
Dried lemon peel
Sometimes Dill weed or other herbs depending on what I plan to use it
for (or my mood) but the above are the standard.

When done, it always needs the addition of salt. Next time I make it
tho', I am going to try adding MSG and see if that reduces the need for
salting it.

Bouillon is a sad excuse for an ingredient anyway. Look at the
ingredients on the bouillon itself. Very little chicken is involved.

That is so very true! It's just a flavoring.

I just reduce the water I used to boil chicken breasts. Even without
salt, it doesn't taste bad, nor smell bad. In fact, even without salt,
once I've reduced a big pot full of water and chicken juices, it tastes a
little salty without salt.

As for your ingredients, I could do without the celery, carrots and lemon
peel, though I've never tried it that way. Mostly I use chicken and beef
broths for making rice. And I'll also combine chicken and beef broth when
making brown gravy. Speaking of which, a little bit of cocoa powder in
brown gravy adds a lot to the flavor, as long as you've got your salt,
garlic, pepper, maybe a little thyme and sage.

Well, when I used the Wyler's cubes of it, I wasn't so unimpressed as to
never want to use it again. I just hated that it was in a cube that
seemed so unwilling to dissolve as quickly as I wanted. that's when I
switched to the powdered stuff. Now, while it's better than not having
any chicken broth at all, I'd rather have the canned broth.
