Well, all food is poison if you watch Tim and Eric.

But either way, it's delicious. It can give me some horrible liver disease for all I care. It tastes great.

This is cursed, that is cursed, scientists say this now could give you cancer even though it saves your life blah blah blah.

Recently I heard on the news that diet drinks are worse your basic soft drinks, apparently some ingrediant starting with 'G' can cause heart failures, now you should be more paranoid than ever!

I fail to see why we're so afraid.
Monosodium Glutamate dissolves into Na+ and glutamate anions.
Sodium can be found in anything and the other is a naturally occurring amino acid, one of the building bricks of proteins.
In other words, every cell of your body has these in it. Why aren't we dead yet if it's that dangerous?
Because, as you were pointing out, it's not dangerous. The only reason it is actually criticized is because of it addictive properties. It's used as a flavor enhancer because it stimulates taste buds into thinking something tastes better than it actually does. And since it is put in 2/3 of our food, the real health risks are obesity, heart disease, etc.
Note: I have no source, this is just what a chem. professor told me.

OW MY STOMACH LINING!


Anyway, MSG is fucking awesome. It culls the herds of people not smart enough to avoid it. Also, I find it rather delicious. Luckily I don't have functioning organs.
Be honest. Do YOU read the content labels of everything you eat or drink? I know I don't.

i like your way of thinking :D but you forgot killers like the ever more common car accident, the brick wich falls on you while you walk on the street because a construction worker was too lazy to insert it properly, the random robber wich will stab you for the little money you have in your pocket, choking on your HEALTHY food while eating, getting shot by the neighbours child who wants to play RL Counter-Strike with you or tripping on the stairs and breaking your skull open on the new garden dwarf you just put in your garden... and lots more !

as for reading the contents of your food, if u`re not a chemist, or a nerd who wants to google everything he can just for the sake of it, you prolly won`t get to know most of what you eat. just stop eating. you will be safe. until you die of starvation.

You really do know your tin foil hats. How would you like to work for the R&D division in my company?
If it includes a large budget for advanced mind control that can be spent on booze and video games, sure!

If you read the ingredients of almost any food you will find that it contains "poison", aspartame is in everything with sugar in it and is ruoured to cause cancer

I have a feeling that MSG is not a problem in small quantities unless you're intolerant to it like Ted Danson was in the TV series 'Becker'...

Anything in large doses is a poison. If someone did a bio on you right now they would find traces of mercury, arsenic and other potentially deadly chemicals. Anyway we drink alchol, so it's not like we don't poison ourselves already and a small amount of poison regularly ingested can allow the body to build up an immunity...

Doesn't something have to be lethal in certain quantities to be considered toxic or poisonous? As in not having to eat half the world stock of MSG to be at risk.

MSG in moderation is fine.

but if you wanna get healthy, eat a diet consisting entirely of almonds and cabbage.
Haha. One point for being right, two points for being snarky and right. You win!

MSG? You're worried about MSG? Let me tell you there is a far more dangerous substance in all the food you eat.

Allow me to introduce Dihydrogen Monoxide. This colourless, odourless, tasteless liquid is highly lethal in large doses. Hundreds of people every year are lost to it in what would otherwise seem innocent circumstances, perhaps even thousands. The number of actual casualties remains unknown. This terrifying chemical is not only found in food but in cleaning fluids, poisons, biotoxins, lakes and rivers. In short, everywhere. And you should be afraid.

This is the chemical which carved the Great Canyon, along with countless other 'natural' icons. Dihydrogen Monoxide is even present on Mars where it carved channels into the planet's surface which were at first attributed to little green men. But no! This both acid-and-alkali chemical persevered! It's name is now uttered with fear around the globe. Join the struggle.
I wish The Escapist had some sort of rep system so I could give you +1.

Anyway, MSG has almost NO effect on most people, except that if you eat large quantities of it for a very long time, you can have eyesight problems eventually. Some people do have serious problems with MSG though. However, it looks a LOT like an allergic reaction to me. The alarmists have blown this completely out of proportion. Don't believe everything some fearmonger puts on an internet blog.
