Example.......I cook a lot of Chinese food.......when I buy spices and the like, I check out what is in them......if there is MSG...I don't buy it.....if there is Ajinomoto....I don't buy it !!!! Why ???? Ajinomoto is MSG !!!!! Plain and simple. But does everyone know that ???? I have had so many people ask me what the heck Ajinomoto is !!!!! LOL
MSG isn't harmful to people- that is actually a myth! There have been numerous studies that show it isn't a health risk at all- though a small percentage of people may experience temporary symptoms from large amounts, but it doesn't require medical care.
