Oh Disinformation!

It all started with my Dad mentioning that some proteins can be bad for you. After a healthy (just kidding) discussion I started to crawl on the net for it and I was shocked to find out that MSG (aka Ajinomoto ) is not a dangerous substance! and even it causes a temporary sensation of numbness only when injested in large amounts. Now who doesn't know that too much of any thing is bad.

It was a pleasant surprise though to see Heston Blumenthal ( The Kitchen Chemistry guy ) in support of what the world still believes to be a killer. Well people are still eating MSG but they just don't know it now (Hydrolyzed soy protein, autolyzed yeast, and sodium caseinate, to name a few, all serve essentially the same purpose as MSG.)

Saccharin was another surprise, but that's another story.

That just goes to prove that

You cannot believe everything you hear.
