Can you help me convince 9,000,000 people that monosodium glutamate (MSG) is bad for them?

Question

It's not that big a favor. I got most people to quit referring to my home state as "Cali." This was where that originated, since the Vietnamese have very few closing consonants. We're only talking about one city here. We Californians call our state "Cal," as in "Nor Cal" and "Southern Cal." I did that for the TV stations here. Now if kids will stop saying that I can rest easy.

Answer 1

WOW!  You aim high, don't you?  Why don't you just start with immediate family.  Then they will do take on a few people.  You know.."pay it forward"  :))

But back to the subject...MSG is not bad for you if it is in natural foods.  It is the amount that is consumed that makes it bad for you.  We and I consider myself in the mix take in to much "Sodium" period.

Not just MSG but all sodium.  We do need some but not the high doses that we give our bodies every day.

Sorry :(( - I got preachy.

Answer 2

Probably not.  MSG is a natural ingredient found in seaweed.

Answer 3

That's a pretty big favor you're asking from us.

------------------

How about I try to convince 50?

I think I can do that. I don't know 9 million people.

Deal??

Answer 4

MSG may be a good add on but its very very harmful as it can cause blindness and if ever i have had it it makes me feel spacey which is a fact so beware of this discourage each and all not to use it thanks

Answer 5

I'm afraid it isn't the natural MSG's seaweed origin that's responsible for the damage caused by the chemical substitute used to such an extension as enhancer by the food industry. It's spread into almost anything standardized eatable, all around the world. It's also disguised under less suspect names or even contained into other substances. It's probable, that literally no-one is safe from this any more.

And this exact nature of the dangerous ingredient in its full creepy details, is that should be pointed out.

Make people aware of the probable names they might meet this particular substance and of the studies regarding the consequences of it's use. Aware of the exact reasons the substance is so widespread. Of the fact that it's legalised under consideration. Of the identity of who in the industry uses it, in order to "cover" what, regarding quality.

Finally promote quality in every possible way.

Thanks for your patience.

Answer 6

Not A Chance your a wacko,,, there is nothing wrong or bad about MSG

except for those who are genetically defective,, like allergic to it..

billions of healthy people enjoy it ..

as for your disrespectful regard For our state the proper abbreviation is Calif or just CA. NOT your slur

NOW the Governor can use his Europe in accent to miss pronounce His "Cal i fornia"  

Answer 7

MSG is also a common trigger for migraine headaches. Good luck reaching the 9 mill!!!

Answer 8

MSG has been related to the occurance of Migraine Headaches!  I live in Colorado and almost no restaurants here, even Oriental use it and state so on their menus!  Hope that helps!
