People get excited about food. And people get especially excited (even defensive and agitated) when we start talking about what's in their food. At least that is what I experienced from my last post, MSG by Any Other Name. Perhaps it is because they are unknowingly consuming hidden neurotoxins or excitotoxins in the form of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and MSG-related additives. So, let me clear some things up by providing definitions and scientific evidence about what MSG is, exactly, and why it is so bad for us.
