[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I eat something with msg in it, I get a rapid heartbeat, headache and a terrible stomach ache, which leads to diarrhea. [/quote]

So you don’t eat things like Doritos, mushrooms, Parmesan, ketchup, bbq sauce?[/quote]

NP here.  I definitely get heacaches from MSG (and aspartame).  I avoid all MSG foods like Doritos and sauces with it added.  I don't eat many mushrooms, but don't like them much so maybe that is why -- never knew they occurred naturally.

I love all Asian food, and am married to an Asian person, FWIW.[/quote]

Any proof out there that MSG is safe for human consumption? I have not seen any.

Anyone?[/quote]

Can you prove that it is not? The vast body of research on the topic that concluded MSG does not actually cause migraines or other ailments generally conclude that it is safe. Many review articles specifically point out that there are massive flaws in much of the research that claims it could cause migraines or pain.
