    Are people allergic to MSG then? Is that the purpose of the website? Otherwise why avoid it? Isn't it "yummy"?

    I have to say that the website you link to is a very badly written soliloquy.

    msg is a major migraine trigger, it raises blood pressure significantly...therefore many people may wish to avoid it, however it is known by many different names, most canned foods, soy sauces, gravy mixes, canned/boxed broths,salad dressings etc contain it, sometimes as a hidden ingredient.   And yes, some people are allergic to it.

    Interesting timing. I was just reading an article yesterday on salt, and how it also leads to high blood pressure (by making your body absorb more water, adding up to a big weight gain too). 
    Maybe in all of these recipes people post here they should be cutting out the salt?
    As for your MSG its in most canned foods, sauce mixes, bread, even cookies! 
    We are so bombarded with salt in every food, that there is absolutely no need to add it to anything else we make ourselves.
