Guest guest Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 MSG has been banned in restaurants and not allowed to be sold in supermarkets. A friend of mine used to use it in her cooking when making her hungarian dishes. I asked her one day where she got it because it wasn't allowed to be sold, but apparently the little ethnic delicatessans are allowed to sell it. They found that it was the ingredient in chinese foods that cause one to get full on chinese food quickly and then get hungry again soon afterwards. I think it acts like a strong dose of caffeine in the body. It is put in foods to enhance the flavours. When I moved to the USA I was surprised to see restaurants using it. I thought it would have been banned over here also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
