[QUOTE="makka, post: 342267, member: 52100"] Sorry to correct but MSG or E621, is Sodium rather than sugar based, however if you are sensitive to it (and many people are) it can give symptoms similar to that of high blood sugar known as Chinese Restaurant Syndrome symptoms include headache, numbness/tingling, flushing, muscle tightness, sweating, dizziness, nausea, chest pain, and generalised weakness. As well as being used as a flaour enhancer in it's own right it is also often hidden in other additives such as hydrolyzed vegetable protein, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed yeast, yeast extract, and soy. As well as the symptoms above it can also raise blood pressure due to the chemical make up and the sodium present in it. Always ask for MSG free foods, or avoid things like sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce, crispy duck and sweet chilli sauces. [/QUOTE]
