> Aspartame kills me. But so does MSG. Is MSG linked to worsening mood? It also makes me sick to my stomach.

Monosodium glutamate is simply the generic (i.e. sodium) salt of glutamic acid. Glutamic acid is: a) an amino acid, found in many foods; b) a neurotransmitter, with profound excitatory effects.

You have neurons in your gut. What it is doing in your gut, it is doing in your brain.

If you ever find yourself exposed to MSG, you don't have to endure it. I am exquisitely sensitive to the stuff. I used to eat it, plain, back in my youth. For the buzz. I may have broken something.

Now, when I get MSG-ed, I taurine. It quickly abolishes the glutamate effect. I think it is probably a molecule for molecule effect. The more MSG I got, the more taurine I need. But, maybe 15 minutes, and the whole thing is just gone. "Chinese food syndrome" has a cure.
