Myth Busting:

• Monosodium Glutamate affects everyone! (And none of the effects are good.)
• It is NOT found just in Chinese food.
• The part of MSG that affects us is the "glutamate", not the sodium.
• If we eliminate MSG by name, everything will not be ok. There are other ingredients that MSG sensitive people should eliminate from their diet. See the Ingredient Watch List.
• MSG is not a preservative, it is a flavor enhancer.
• Any glutamate added to a processed food is not and can not be considered naturally occurring. Hydrolyzed Protein and Autolyzed Yeast are forms of glutamate that are not naturally occurring.
• MSG is not a nutrient, vitamin, or mineral and has no health benefits.
• Food companies are not concerned with your health.

As soon as more myths come to my attention, they will be added to this list.
