Is it okay once in a while to eat arsenic? Lead? Would you have a balance of cyanide in your life?

It's never okay to eat it. I know you are interested in having children fairly soon, and MSG crosses the placenta and poisons the fetus.

Tanya, I would believe that about food addiction. MSG just tastes so dang good. http://www.msgtruth.org/avoid.htm About 3/4 of the way down are grocery foods containing MSG.

I remember a Christmas party a few years ago; this lady made this excellent cheeseball. I love cheese. I know it's not good, but this was Christmas and dang, that was some good cheeseball! I couldn't stop eating it. I asked her what was in it...cream cheese, some other cheese, onion, soy sauce (uh-oh I started to think) and this seasoning called "Accent". She said it was a flavored salt. Alarm bells went off, and I stopped chowing down. Guess who was violently ill a little bit later?

Later at the store, I saw that "Accent" is 100% MSG.

anyone remember wok with yan? like, the old one in the 80's? he always put magic powder in his food. what was that anyway????

Yay Karen! Let me know if you want some delish recipes! That's all we eat!

Birch....check out my signature line currently running in my location. No, no, no.....cyanide very bad. Mess your insides up bad. Don't eat it.
