Salted roasted sunflower seeds come with...MSG?

Yep.


Check your local supermarket.


Look for something like "roasted sunflower seeds" or something.  Make sure it's unsalted.  Look at its ingredients.


Now look for something like "roasted sunflower seeds, salted".  Look at its ingredients.  You'll magically find monosodium glutamate.


 


Move over, mockery of Chinese cuisine.  MSG is everywhere.  (And not actually harmful anyway.)

    I never really understood what the big deal about MSG was. Why do we all get in a tizzy over it?



    Is it like thought to cause cancer or something?

    People reported feeling weird after eating Chinese food; MSG was arbitrarily blamed for it. As far as I know there haven't been any actual studies linking MSG to anything scary.

    Some people are allergic to it I think but plenty of people are allergic to citrus or nuts and nobody freaks out about those being widespread.

    Well, MSG has a name that's hard to pronounce which means that it's obviously evil, while salt comes from the Anglo-Saxon so of course it can't be bad!

    ^ Best logic ever I did see.
