And? So can caffeine. So can wine. So can nitrates. So can about a million other things.

Yes. And caffeine and alcohol are usually listed in the ingredients. Nitrates and MSG are often left off even if they are included. The comment I was responding to sounded to me like they were saying MSG was a completely benign ingredient that couldn't hurt anyone. It isn't. Nothing wrong with using it, but it absolutely should be listed if it is included.

In the ingredients of what? The secret's about home cooking and restaurant dishes. The MSG would be listed in the recipe that the people at home would be following, and I dare you to find me a French restaurant (or Dennys or wtf-ever) menu that lists caffeine content of their entrees.

And frankly, as multiple people have already pointed out to you, multiple ingredients found in multiple cuisines (most of which are not listed on restaurant menus) are migraine triggers. The reason why MSG was targeted then and continues to be highlighted as a dangerous chemical, as opposed to salt or sugar or choline or tannins or tyramine or vinegar is racism.

Thank you. MSG occurs naturally in a whole lot of foods that people eat all the time without even realizing it. The idea that somehow MSG only matters (or supposedly affects people) when it's in Chinese food is pure racism.
