Why do some people treat MSG like it's literal poison, but will happily eat a bag of Doritos?
I was cooking for some friends and grabbed a pinch of MSG to add to the soup. One of them literally gasped and acted like I was putting arsenic in the food, talking about "headaches" and "chemicals."
But the same guy was just snacking on a family-sized bag of Doritos, which is packed with MSG and artificial flavorings. Where did this weird, selective fear of pure MSG come from? Hasn't it been scientifically proven to be totally fine?
