>>21466591One thing that has come to my attention of late as I try to watch my eating to keep it within reasonable bounds, is that excessive salt intake actually leads to further salt cravings (which I admit is a problem of mine that I'm trying to reign-in). This is a vicious cycle that leaves people who ingest too much sodium feeling as if they have a sodium deficiency which in turn results in ingesting more sodium.
MSG, which itself is also a robust source of sodium, amplifies the both the effect and craving for salt considerably more than just salt. In other words, if you ingest MSG-laden products on a regular basis, your salt cravings will be harder to appease.
Air go, if you are someone who ingests too much salt or at risk of too much sodium, MSG isn't something you should try in moderation because you'll go off the rails.
