I probably have some in the cupboard but I don't go out of the way to
use it. I never did buy into the "toxic" bunk nor did MSG ever give me
headaches or any other sort of adverse reactions.

Like Jill, I don't have any in the house but and I don't buy into those
toxic stories and have never once had a problem with MSG.

I add MSG to most everything, allows me to cut way back on salt.

Is that what the video is about, milking those same old
unsubstantiated theories that have been scientifically disproven?

That's why I didn't click the link.

I know one person who gets headaches from it. But I think most people don't
have a problem with it.

I never thought anything about it as Chinese food never gave me
a problem ... until last week, we ordered in and both of us came
down with huge headaches. Ron wondered if this was the MSG effect
people talked about.

I'm not saying it's MSG but there was definitely a new cook on
the line, my broccoli was underdone, the food wasn't the same as
usual. I never get headaches so it was unusual.

My 2 LB cannister of Accent lists Ingredients: Monosodium Glutamate,
no other ingredents. My 2 lb cannister says one serving: 1/8 tsp...
contains 60% less sodium than salt. In most dishes I add a very small
amount of MSG and no NACL. I've been working on a 1lb 10oz container
of Diamond Crystal table salt for more than 25 years and it's still
about half full, I can't remember the last time I refilled my tiny
salt shaker... about the only time I sprinkle table salt is on a baked
potato and on fried eggs... on buttered toast I sprinkle a small pinch
of kosher salt.... because i only buy unsalted butter. A box of
kosher salt lasts me several years, mostly it's used in pasta water.

The Chinese Restaurant Syndrome has long ago been proven to be
attributable to Chinese cooks using excess salt... most don't use any
MSG because it costs more than salt. When some people eat an entire
bag of potato chips they experience the same maladies atributed to
Chinese Restaurant Syndrome... maybe why they now have no added salt
potato chips... I recently bought a bag by mistake, they are awful,
the critters got them.

I never used to worry about it. My co-workers and I used to go out for
Chinese food frequently and never had a problem. Then we tried a place
we had never been to before. They had a combo dinner at a price it was
hard to say know to. There was something in that food that did a number
on our guts. It was way too fast to be food poisoning. We got back to
work and there was a mad rush for the one bathroom and people begging
others to hurry before they lost it. One of the guys was sensitive to
MSG and had a bad headache.

Oh! Thanks! Similar quantity?

I mostly use this just as a seasoning:

to use that one

That's horrible, I wonder what could have caused that. It's like
someone dosed your food with laxatives.

I usually don't get the combo as I order for leftovers but once
in a while, the fried rice and eggroll appeal.

You can mix up a batch of 1 part MSG with 9 parts salt and use that as you would regular salt. It's super salt. It's a popular Korean product although the Koreans coat the salt with MSG.

That is the plain powder msg?

I will do that, but do you ever use it on its own?

It was like a delayed detonation fuse. It was two miles to our work
location that has only one toilet and there were 5 of us who got hit by
it at the same time. It was not a comfortable moment.

This was a hole in the wall just down the street from the Chinese
restaurant we usually went to. At the usual place we usually ordered a
single dish each and maybe some soup, and then take home the leftovers.
This place we tried had a combo dinner that was dirt cheap. It was tasty
enough, but the side effects were harsh. We thought it was worth
trying. I don't know why the price mattered. We were on expense accounts
so it wasn't really coming out of our pockets.

I know it is anecdotal but from past experiences with effects that I
attributed to MSG, I would never use it. Furthermore, I avoid using
stock cubes that contain it, buying msg-free ones when I visit the UK.

Except on already cooked foods... MSG is meant to be cooked along with
foods.

It will be the plain powder. It reduces the overall sodium load and it
used just like a salt shaker.

I use it on it's own in small pinches in soups and stews.

Yes, mix straight MSG with salt. Use it until you get a handle on how MSG influences the taste of food. If you still have a hard time, just increase the percentage of MSG in the mix.

I have a two pound bag that I use with most foods. It's a major part of my cooking.

It's fairly obvious that MSG had no part in this horrible experience. That you got food poisoning in a Chinese restaurant is not surprising at all. Take it from me, you don't want to know what goes on back there in the kitchen. It's a risk we all take when eating pake kaukau.

If I was investigating this, the first thing I'd check is the rice. That's the most likely cause of the poisoning.

I discounted food poisoning because it came on much too soon. Something
in that meal loosened everyone's bowels, and it was pretty much a one
time very large, loose movement. Then we were fine.

Glad you're still around to tell the tale. All the restaurants here will display one of three different cards on their front door which indicates that it's been inspected.

I don't know how quickly people react to MSG.
