I am actually sensitive to MSG and I still eat the stuff. In large doses that it causes my lips/tongue/throat to numb. It took me years to figure it out since it would only happen after eating at certain restaurants or foods and I could never find anything in common. It wasn't until I bought a bottle of MSG and started putting it on everything that I managed to reproduce it at home. Of course, I was putting it on things like pizza (I thought it was the greatest substance since salt!). Most restaurants and snack foods don't put nearly as much on food as necessary to trigger my reaction. I still think MSG is awesome.
