There are some results from testing done on MonoSodiumGlutimate that indicate MSG causes learning disabilities in children and contributes to Alzheimer's in seniors. Has anyone heard of this?

I have never heard of a study done it. You shouldn't trust all studies anyway. What is the source? You need to know who, where and why they conducted the study. MSG is known as an asian thing, right? And you know the stereotype, it doesn't look like they have learning disabilities. In small amounts like in some potato chips and Asian food, it is fine. Some people don't react well with it and get headaches but it is FINE. I'm pretty sure it doesn't cause learning disabilities and Alzheimer's. I do human biology, there has been no concrete evidence on that (I haven't heard anything about it!). Genetic factors play a MAJOR role in it. For more info, message me :)

MSG lately has become some kind of bugaboo that is blamed for everything. People make up facts, or put unprofessionally done research online and all of a sudden it becomes "TRUTH" and everyone's scared.
MSG enhances flavor. It makes food taste better. That's it.
