Interesting article on MSG and Chinese restaurant syndrome.
- Thread starter pat-nocal
- Start date
Thanks for posting this Pat.... It is cause for pause that an article w a catchy
title rec'd so much attention. Although, I have to admit that I thought / believed that MSG caused my heart to race really fast when I was a teen..... (I still try to avoid MSG).
In hind site, maybe it was because of going on a date to a chinese restaurant in my teens. (My "date" is my dh!)

This has been debunked for a number of years now, but like the aspartame causing "things"
it hangs on.
I will say that this statement may or may not be correct in its assumptions.
"writer and his friends would go to Chinese restaurants, they would often have a certain set of unpleasant symptoms afterward: numbness in the back and arms, palpitations, a general feeling of weakness. This wasn’t a scientific paper or a medical paper. It was a letter to the editor—which anybody can write—proposing a question. The writer was a doctor, but not a specialist in anything that would have to do with MSG chemistry. "
The writer was a neurologist in DH's class at Neurological Institute. Doesn't make it any more correct in a final analysis. It just got attention--as happens today even more on the internet.
