Why is msg paranoia so absurd?
>but my stummy hurts whe I eat chinese food!
Yeah you fat bastard you probably eat 3000 extra calories and feel like a fatass
>but it makes me feel yucky unlike chips n shit!!!
Doritoes and a lot of other processed foods have a shit ton of msg

>>21472945 (OP)
I don't eat anything of asian origin, I don't want to get bowel cancer.

>>21472945 (OP)
People are paranoid retards who want more problems in their lives than they actually have in order to seem more interesting. More people need to accept that they are nothing.

>Original letter written by an unverified doctor named "Ho Man Kwok" (Human crock [of shit])
>Weeping and fainting after eating Chinese food
Yeah, nah

>>21472945 (OP)
I saw that Twitter post too.

I don't trust mystery organic molecules sold in baggies
I won't eat MSG, I won't eat supplements and vitamins. Eat a fucking apple and some steak instead of manufactured bullshit

>>21473219
>Eat a fucking apple and some steak
do you know what kind of pesticides were sprayed on your apples, and what other kind of chemicals were used to help them grow? do you know what kind of hormones the cow was injected with that your steak came from? unless you're raising the cow yourself, there's "mystery molecules" in just about everything you purchase.
but whatever, you keep living in fear. I'll keep enjoying tasty food.

>>21473219
Steak naturally contains msg.

>>21473224
>if you can't be sure your food is perfectly uncontaminated you might as well give up and eat nothing but garbage anyway
I won't subscribe to all-or-nothing cope

>>21472945 (OP)
I really think the issue isn't MSG being toxic or whatever, it's that it ended up enhancing the flavor of the food so much that people just overindulged. Still fucking love Asian food but that's my thought on the matter.

>>21473234
I hope you never consume any farm raised foods

>>21473241
Msg is applied in “asian” food the same way salt is applied in “western” food

>>21472945 (OP)
it comes from seaweed originally, but now is made from various other fermented plants. Poor old MSG was Karen's enemy starting in the 90s, she since moved to gluten, however microplastics are starting to take the lead.

>>21473248
Yeah I know, but it has such a stronger enhancement of flavor relative to standard table salt that people will fuck up a plate of orange chicken and then wonder why they get the shits.

>>21473251
Idk anon maybe it’s because orange chicken also has a liberal cup of sugar in it plus fried in nasty day old grease, if we’re talking about the average Great Wall type place

>>21473257
There are multiple avenues of attack upon your digestive system yeah.

>>21473258
I feel some are far more significant than others. Try eating a plate of greasy fried sugary chicken vs something comprable with some msg on it

>>21473004
>>21473015
From what I remember china restaurant syndrome first got mentioned in the free talk/respond section of a medical journal which was basically the place where doctors shitpost.
It didn't start as a serious thing

if anything there is a positive MSG craze because foodtubers always want to show how not racist they are and pad their videos with factoids about chinese restaurant syndrome
and sprinkling MSG on everything

I don't like the way takeaway places use such an absurd amount it makes me thirsty for the rest of the evening, simple as. It's not some conspiracy, retard.
I don't eat fucking Doritos.

>>21473234
Imagine being this retarded when it comes to food

>>21473317
If you actually believe this, you're a literal retard and need to learn what is in food other than "Doritoes"

>>21472945 (OP)
Tl;dr Western retards being scared by their boomer parents, not knowing shit about food or cooking

MSG is the autotune of cooking

>>21472949
>product of USA

>>21473887
>place of origin =/= where it's manufactured
isolated MSG is an asian invention PAL

>>21473895
Who gives a shit retard, you’re not gonna get cancer from it.

I cook with natural ingredients not your bleach derivatives

>>21473922
oh really? thanks. now that some retard on 4chan told me i wont get cancer i can eat all the shitty asian food i want.

>>21472945 (OP)
>be amerimutt
>produce cancer msg
>blame people put cancer msg in your food

>>21472945 (OP)
Everybody is different. People may react badly to MSG; it doesn't mean they're delulu. There may be some kind of MSG intolerance just like there is lactose intolerance.

>>21473939
>be retarded
>can't understand that companies manufacture products outside their home country

>>21473507
That feels like bacon specifically. Low-effort to try to make a dish taste better but it just ends up tasting like bacon instead.

>>21473928
Pretty sure that's the gutter oil doing that in china anon, for the others I'd chalk that up to their overconsumption of kimchi and other fermented foods

Punch Nero in the boob

i recently got it to try it out, and really havent seen any noticeable improvements to my food even though ive been putting it on most meals i cook

>>21473966
Alcohol and smoking are pretty big killers in Nihonland and Worst Korea as well. IIRC tobacco is still partly state-owned (for them sweet budgetary gainz) over there.

>>21473966
I have a tough time believing gutter oil is as extensive as people make it out to be on this board. Either way it's def not the reason why they have high rates of GI cancers.
The main reason is that have shitty gut bacteria from communal eating, poor sanitation, and a terrible diet. H Pylori loves sodium and carbs.

>>21474115
Same. I'm convinced 90% of the msg hype from white people comes from people who drastically under-salt their food, then they try MSG and figure "hey it's not salt so I can go crazy with it!" and suddenly their meal is salted properly.

>>21472949
Nordics have the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world.

>>21472945 (OP)
This shit got it's start back when we had a flood of Chinese immigrants, and it was 100% a racist response to them coming in. These people don't actually react to MSG (your life would suck ass if you did), many people have fed these 'tards MSG secretly and they failed to react. Which is because this shit is 100% a racist statement against Chinese people - it's a covert way of saying "fuck these guys" without actually sounding like an asshole (standard playing the "victim" shit which liberals famously do regularly now).

Worst case you are getting too much salt thanks to the monosodium bit. But even Chinese places dropped the MSG (or pretend to) so these racist fucks would lose their excuse.

>>21474552
Why are you so angry at racists? Live and let live my dude

>>21474503
Clearly they have too many asians cooking stuff over there then

>>21474503
Simply not true

>>21474563
But it is

isn't that what makes every single savory dish from the Chinese takeaways taste exactly the same no matter where you order from?

>>21474794
Yes. It flattens out the flavors and gives everything a similar rich savory taste. It's interesting how completely MSG took over Chinese cuisine in less than one hundred years and it's a Japanese invention. Chinese people must really, really love MSG to so widely adopt a Japanese product. It's hard to overstate hoe important MSG has become in Chinese cooking. It's as important as salt and pepper are in European cooking.

>>21474807
When your diet mostly cosisted of rice, a powder that makes it taste savory and meaty seemed like magic and a gift from the GODS.

>>21474856
Are you saying IMPERIAL NIPPON GODS had to save the Chinese from their bland unsavory cuisine?

>>21472945 (OP)
>Why is msg paranoia so absurd?
>>but my stummy hurts whe I eat chinese food!
MSG is naturally occuring in nippons seaweed, tomatoes and roast beef. if dude bros hate MSG so much, they should stop eating that have natural MSG innit.

>>21474580
>colon cancer
this seems to be a common problem with big meat eaters rather than anything to do with salt or MSG from nippon seaweeds made in USA thoughbeito.

>>21474794
really? goto taiwan and eat smelly tofu and tell me that again. or their pineapples. or their bubblelu tea.

Nordics are not the highest meat eaters.
That would be argies, americans or aussies.

>>21475455
>>21475637
In fact Nordic countries don't rank particularly high in Europe either. Please don't slander meat-eating.

>>21475637
>That would be argies, americans or aussies.
>leaving out Spain and Mongolia
Interesting

>>21474503
Koreans do, but it’s because they’re alcoholics who eat kimchi every day

>>21475956
I mentioned those because they are always the top three, regardless of the year they are the most consistent. Spain is a newcomer to the club, but it has been the first in Europe for a while. Mongolia idk it has a weird diet so I kinda left it out, too different.

Anyhow the point is that Scandinavian countries are not really big meat eaters.
