Wrong. And yeah everyone knows what MSG is. McDonald's does not Add any MSG. It is however very commonly found in North American Chinese restaurants. It is in Doritos (if they are flavoured) some people get head achs from MSG. I can't speak for the American McDonalds but I can for the Canadian one.
Also MSG is a little over hyped as a DEMON DRUG at times. Granted I don't think anyone would call it a health food but you act as if all that fake sugar (Aspartame) is any better for you. It too is also very dangerous.
I'm not wrong about this subject, I asked many of my friends and they didn't have a clue. Plus, I don't use fake sugar because I know it's bad for you're health. I once drank diet coke back when I didn't know what aspartame was and I had heart burn. All i've been eating for 4 years is vegetables, meat and nothing artificial. If you ask me, only a small percentage of people know what I'm talking about, of course if I had stated trans fat, then people would know, but this is not the case. At least it's good to know that you do care about you're health.
I didn't say you were wrong and that MSG was healthy I said (although not really that dangerous)...
You are wrong, You said MSG was in McDonalds. It isn't. How old are your friends? It's pretty much common knowledge to know what MSG is these days. Not using it (fake sugar) is irrelevant, everything you buy has it in it.

They all have aspartame and MANY MANY MORE.
People can go a little overboard with this health stuff, if you want to get really in depth you'd be eating nothing. Sorry I can't afford to kill all my own cows and bake all my own food but I'd have to in order to avoid the millions of things that MIGHT kill me. I just think its crazy how over worked people become is all. Especially when aspartame is in way more stuff then MSG. Given that MSG is generally mainly for china na food. Although growing it's way out bit by bit.
