In a study performed by Tarasoff and Kelly (1993) 71 fasting participants were given 5 g of MSG and then administered a standard breakfast. There was only one reaction, and it was to the placebo in a self-identified MSG-sensitive individual.[18] In a different study done by Geha et al. (2000), they tested the reaction of 130 subjects who reported sensitivity to MSG. Multiple DBPC trials were performed and only subjects with at least two symptoms proceeded. Only two people out of the whole study responded in all four challenges. Because of this low prevalence, the researchers concluded that ...

Actually, I’ve been learning a lot there, and sharing a lot. As for the slow cooker question, it has nothing to do with organic or not.

I know people with MSG issues should avoid gelatin capsules since they are 10%-12% free glutamic acid. However, are vCaps ok?

Hi Lightstar It sounds like fish food (the flakes you feed pet fish in fish-tanks). There’s a rumour that some Asian restaurants use this to impart a maximum flavour hit at a low cost.
