MSG in Chinese Food: The Most Ridiculous Myth Ever

Had a wild experience at a local Chinese spot last night. Ordered mapo tofu, and the flavors were just unreal—deep, savory, and that perfect umami hit. Someone at the next table was loudly asking if there was MSG in the food, like it was poison or something. It’s honestly baffling that people still buy into the whole "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" thing when glutamates are in tomatoes, cheese, and so much more. The science is out there, folks. MSG is just another seasoning, and it makes food taste incredible. If you’re still scared of it, maybe read up before spreading old myths. #MSGisSafe #FoodScience #ChineseCuisine #Food
