Another note about being afraid of MSG, which has been used for centuries to flavour food (including traditional forms of pho soup). It's like being scared of salt in the 2000's, or cholesterol in the 90's or saturated fat in the 80's. Completely unfounded BS that is propagated by the media. And what's the fear of the 2010's? Gluten. But I digress... for some reason, MSG hasn't been able to shake the stigma it received in the 70's, even though it is completely unfounded and unsupported by studies that tried. Unless you're in the 1% of the population that has a sensitivity to glutamic acid, you have nothing to worry about. So stop worrying!

We didn't start becoming SCARED of all this food until the late 60's early 70's. And what do you know, since then we have gotten fatter and sicker than ever before.
