Evil MSG

From MSN Lifestyle:

Hidden MSG
Think you are avoiding monosodium glutamate, or MSG as it is popularly known, by shunning cheap Chinese food? Not a chance. MSG can be found in a list of foods as long as your arm and is hard to spot because it is often given a different name. MSG is a widely used flavour enhancer which is thought to work as a stimulant, but has also been linked to damage to brain cells, eye problems, headaches, fatigue and depression. The simple way to avoid it is always read labels and try to eat as much fresh produce as possible

Time to throw out the MSG, I never used this in my own cooking or allow it when my maid cooks. Hope others realise its not as harmless as it seems.
