MSG will give me a headache every frickin' time. Guaranteed.
- bjl 8y agoUnless tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and aged beef also give you headaches every time, then its guaranteed not to be the MSG.
- detritus 8y agoThe difference is that those foods are high in glutamate, not the chemically-stabilised for easy human sprinkling 'monosodium glutamate'. I've long suspected any headaches or perceived ill-effects from MSG consumption are probably just sodium spikes from dishes made with a bit too much msg and salt, perhaps washed down with some not enirely quenching alcoholic beverage.
- djmips 8y agoTyramine is supposed to trigger migraines and they are in parm and aged beef.
- waynecochran 8y agoThere is a big difference between the glutamic acid in tomatoes and the refined devilry that is put in Campbell's soup, KFC chicken, and cheap asian food. I do have to watch protein powders and bars that have glutemic acid ... some of these will give me a headache (I am looking at you muscle milk).
- equalunique 8y agoEat a teaspoon of MSG. Remember, "its guaranteed not to be the MSG."
- waynecochran 8y agoI might be willing to try this, but I am afraid of the outcome. The headaches are violent. I have had these headaches decades and I know my triggers. MSG is the king of triggers.
