Is MSG considered an artificial flavoring? I was under the impression that it is both naturally occurring in biology and that its health problems are greatly over-exaggerated.
Nonetheless, point taken.
- swampthinker 9y agoMSG's health problems are greatly over-exaggerated. Ever had Chinese food? Most asian dishes have a ton of MSG.
- poizan42 9y agoThe funny thing is that the real health issue of MSG is rarely mentioned - it makes unhealthy food taste better. It is not surprising that we have evolved to appreciate the taste of protein. However when we add something that imparts a strong taste of protein while actually containing very little protein to food high in fat and carbohydrates then people may end up eating more of those.
- ericdykstra 9y ago"Natural flavoring" is not natural in any real sense of the word. It's like "fat free" labels on unhealthy food.
