>While published studies have seemed to link MSG to negative health outcomes, none of them hold in today’s court of scientific research. The linked study here is much more interesting: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6952072/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6952072/ Personally, foods with a lot of glutamate give me a headache and make me want to take a nap. I imagine that's due to the excitatory effect which is dismissed by the meta-study authors. If perhaps Big MSG (TM) really did fund a giant meta-analysis to persuade people that MSG fears are unfounded, and well-meaning journalists want everyone to believe that anti-MSG thought is just racist conspiracy, well, that's their karma.
