That’s not really relevant to what ayrt and OP are saying though. They’re only talking about MSG generally being fine as an ingredient, despite what racist propaganda has said in the past. And that it’s essential to many dishes actually tasting authentic, despite some YouTubers pretending otherwise. They’re not talking about MSG being good for everyone.

As was already said, literally anything can be a migraine trigger, so bringing that up isn’t relevant, no matter how well known it may be for some people as that. That’s like responding to someone talking about the health benefits of peanut butter by saying “Peanuts are a common allergen”. Nobody was saying otherwise, or trying to get literally everyone to eat peanut butter. They were just talking about the health benefits it can have to anyone not allergic. And most of the people allergic to them already know this, so wouldn’t be tempted by this video about health benefits. Similarly, a lot of people that get migraines from MSG already know this, so saying “MSG is good, actually” isn’t going to make them risk getting a migraine when they know it will happen. They’re obviously not included.

I’m sorry, I know I sound really pressed about this, and this might be an inappropriate response tone-wise to your comments. I’m just confused as to why adding the potential for migraines in some people was necessary in regards to the secret or AYRT’s comment.

I'm sorry. To me the comment I read sound like it was saying MSG was completely harmless and couldn't hurt anyone. And I don't believe that is true. I don't disagree with the OP or the secret. It is just the specific comment that sounded like it was saying MSG couldn't hurt anyone.

And for the record, I'd say the same thing about alcohol, chocolate, cheese, nitrates, and any other common migraine triggers. I have no issues with people using it. It is just that MSG is often used without it being listed as an ingredient. That's what I have an issue with. If it is used, it should be labelled so those who it is a trigger for can avoid.

That’s actually understandable. I didn’t read it that way, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be read that way by others. I should have considered it could be read as potentially harmful, and omitting risks to certain individuals. So I sincerely apologize.

Can you point to the part of the secret text that says MSG is "completely harmless and couldn't hurt anyone"? I don't see it.

I don't mean to be harsh here, but you've got a track record of "reading" messages in secrets that you attribute to the OP, but when pressed, you end up admitting that oh, OP didn't actually say that, it was just your interpretation based on very little or nothing at all.

[philstar22]

OP didn't say that. But the commenter that I replied to did. "The worst you can say about MSG is that, while it is better than regular salt, it isn't as healthy as no salt." That seems pretty blatant to me. The worst thing you can say about it, nothing else bad at all.

Salt is a much more common migraine trigger than MSG. Just admit you're wrong and move on. This is just sad.

[(Anonymous)]

You should heed your own advice

[(Anonymous)]

You okay there, buddy?

[(Anonymous)]

And what are they wrong about exactly? This is such a stupid reply.

[(Anonymous)]

Salt isn't great either, though, nor do most restaurants list their sodium content, so it seems like a perfectly fine comparison.
