A member asked:
If you eat lots of monosodium glutamate is it responsible of being overweight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: I don't think there are even any calories in msg. However, it can cause flushing, headache, sweating, numbness around the mouth, palpitations, and in severe overdoses: chest pain, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the throat. Be careful!
