MSG's messy myths and racist tropes
Manage episode 444178102 series 2632024
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavour enhancer that often gets a bad wrap.
You might know someone who swears it makes them sick, or you yourself might steer clear of foods unless they have that 'no added MSG' label.
Norman and Tegan explain why the bad PR around MSG has more to do with shonky research and misconceptions than the ingredient itself.
