@astaf_gorilla @shinrahtensei oh, the 'MSG Allergy' has been definitely debunked by researchers as myth. multiple literature reviews have been done in the late-2000s to determine so: "... no consistent clinical data to support this claim": https://t.co/YbDjFbc5su (2006) https://t.co/XepSD2Tell (2009)

I pulled up the abstract from "Reconsidering the effects of monosodium glutamate: A literature review" by Matthew Freeman CNP, MPH (Which is what you are citing.) "...there have been reports of an MSG-sensitive subset of the population, this has not been demonstrated in placebo-controlled trials."

Dear @joinditto, please do not spread WhatsApp forward-level urban myths. The MSG scare is based on a bad science claim made by a guy 55 years ago. There is NO scientific evidence for the claims. This video by @ScienceIsDope_ is excellent on this topic: https://t.co/1NNP9GeEnJ https://t.co/1dVKhp2aBX

@ThaisBatelli @SrMillionerd Há um certo exagero aí . Tem um revisão meio antiga que mostra que as alegações não tem tanta evidência para apoiar. Mas como tudo na vida, acho que o prudente é a moderação https://t.co/qPJumMmCPP
