    I try to avoid MSG. It gives my Mom very bad headaches that last days. I feel anxious if I have foods with high amounts of MSG. I've heard that it can cause increased appetite and weight gain. Fortunately, awareness of the negatives of MSG is gaining and more products say "No MSG" on them these days.

    You know I seem to have MORE issues with milk -- lactose intolerance -- or sometimes eggs!

    Makes me deathly ill - and it's added to many foods in restaurants of all types, in sauces, gravies, meats, seafood, salad dressings. YECH. So glad I never fed my kids commercial baby food ... it was even added to that for years. Thnx for the history ... I'd like to see some of the info on effects to our bodies and brains.
