Here are a few studies on MSG that support my claim. Where is the research that say other wise that doesn't come from the producers and users of msg. The both line is that if you use MSG in your cooking your are poisoning people little by little. If you need any more studies I can find hundreds more.

I went through several of your links. It's clear that you do not understand what a scientific study is. Blogs, sites full of partial quotes and holeistic web sites are not sources for scientific studies. There is a HUGE difference between a theory and a fact or a supposition and a scientific study.
I did get a good laugh out of one of the conspiracy theory link where the author didn't appear to know he was ripping off an image from Weird Al Yankovic doing a MJ parody. You may want to drop them a note and let them know that's Hollywood make up and not MSG induced fat...unless weird al really was a lab rat!





Since the video is food related some might get a laugh out of it.

On edit:
I suggest you pick up a copy of Harold McGee's book "On food and Cooking-The science and lore of the kitchen". Read page 342.

Duck Fat your full of sh// Read Mcgee first off the book was written in 1984 before most research was done on MSG. Secondly he just gives his opinion and doesn't back his opinion with facts or foot notes and lastly if he did get any data on MSG it was probably from the manufactures of msg or one of their front groups. So show me the research you are referring to that says MSG doesn't cause health problems. Or is it your too stupid to find research that supports your denial of the fact that MSG is poison
