Man, I knew Monosodium Glutimate got a bit of a bad rep over the years, but I'm surprised to see it sponsor a project of this size.

Good job, MSG! Here's looking to more tasty chemicals cleaning up their image.

Draining and rinsing the rice AFTER cooking?!? WTF?!
If you don't know how to cook white rice, don't go on tv to teach people how to make fried rice.
You have baby, put msg on baby....maybe not make smarter baby, but more tender.
First my wife leave me, now you scrape pan with metal....hiyaaa. Uncle Roger wanna suicide.

I do some of these things wrong. I'm the absolute worst when it comes to grammar. Feel free to let me know when i grammar wrong I appreciate it (preferably in a private msg). *promote

You got your order of ops wrong is all. Lead with the stolen hair shrine construction and then if the crush has lasted to the point of its completion offer it to your living idol as evidence of your unwavering affection and superior architectural artistry.

Killer pickup technique. Literally only ever failed me a few times.

ps. 28/m/LDN ISO women (22-32) 4 long term obsession. Msg me w/ pic

reread my comment and regardless of what has happened it was dead when i marked it and it was NOT this msg it is now. And i dont know or care if its related to the rain. All i know is it was dead from where i was sitting.

You assume this was the message i saw when i deaded your video. It was not. It was a grey screen with some funky computer im broken icon. And the reason i recall this is because i though t it odd i had deaded it earlier in the week . Then you had fixed it and it ended up dead again. So it stood out to me.

The msg its now showing IS NOT what i saw when i deaded your video.

The harpoons didn't actually fire.

At around 8:45 a.m. PST, ESA said the lander’s harpoons did not fire, meaning that Philae is not anchored to the comet. Without being firmly attached to the ground, the worry is that the lander may fall off. ESA is now looking at options to refire the harpoons. -wired

Understanding why so much anecdotal evidence exists is certainly worthwhile! The following link cites many studies on double blind tests for MSG sensitivity.

http://www.businessinsider.com/msg-allergy-doesnt-exist-2013-8

Glutamatic acid (which is what MSG turns into after solubilizing in water, along with a sodium ion) is one of the 20 amino acids that is the basis for all proteins and life, since the beginning of life on earth. It is in relatively high concentration in every cell of your body. Consuming MSG would be akin to consuming 'protein' in your diet, and is commonly labeled as protein in food labeling: http://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html

Consuming too much protein in your diet can cause problems, but you need to be eating it to a relatively obvious excess (a gallon of milk per day). Weightlifters who protein supplement far too much quickly experience heart problems.

The business insider link suggests that there are some people who could potentially be sensitive to Glutamate, and be activating the vagus nerve in the stomach...though it seems to be speculative in that article.

The idea that another ingredient is causing the problem is far more likely. Americanized chinese restaurants all taste the same, because all of their food comes from the same place. A group in China has monopolized the american chinese restaurant market, and provides food and resources at unbeatably low prices. To remain competitive, almost all american chinese restaurants invariably purchase from this group. Given China's track record of putting all kinds of crazy stuff in their produce, it seems entirely likely that some ingredient other than MSG is a much more likely culprit.

I know a couple of people in particular who have reacted extremely badly to chinese restaurants in america, and even went to the emergency room for it. Given the details of their story (a mystery glob of black sauce that they ate from the black sauce egg tray), I could only imagine what kind of horrible things they could have ingested other than MSG. 'Chinese restaurant syndrome' may indeed be a relatively accurate term for what people are experiencing.

How easy you must find it to criticize and dismiss when you're not the one who has suffered. Do you think people who are sensitive to MSG want to be like that? They want to hate on MSG just for the hell of it? Make stuff up? Revel in their ignorance?

I went to this particular restaurant because it was a family tradition and I had little choice in the matter. I went through years of suffering before I had ever heard of MSG. One day I read somewhere about Chinese restaurants and MSG and from that day on, my suffering was at an end. That may not mean anything to you, but it made a difference in my life. So dismiss it as an anecdote all you want. But you'll never convince me or anyone else who went through this experience. Be thankful you never had to.

Debunking MSG myth has been added as a related post - related requested by ChaosEngine on that post.

Sorry, you're right. Your one anecdote outweighs the thousands of man hours of research put into this. Tell me, does this restaurant not use soy sauce?

Yes, MSG is harmful to a small number of people ... if taken in large doses on an empty stomach, i.e. like pretty much every foodstuff out there.

And I don't know where you got the idea that the video claims that "deluded MSG haters need to be set straight". It simply states that the prevailing myth about MSG has no basis in fact, much like the other current fad, the gluten free diet

And meh, you got a headache... so what? People actually die from peanut and shellfish allergies, but most people still eat them. I'm not really sure what your point is, other than to raise a meaningless anecdote about a restaurant that gives you headaches, but for some reason you still go back to.
