I've never used MSG.

Does it not come with a bit of a bad rep - obviously it really helps enhance flavours etc but are there not theoretical health risks that come with it, and it is of zero nutritional value (??)

How exactly do you go about using it? I've had one or two recipes that have suggested it and I've just skipped it.

Theres no actual health risk to it - some people have a sensitivity to it and if you get, say, a Chinese that uses a lot of MSG then some people can feel a bit iffy afterwards because usually with a take-away or such it contains more than normal and we tend to over-consume with take-aways. so double whammy.

Always have a sleep disturbed night after Chinese - wide awake at 3am like I've drunk a dozen espresso coffees, mind racing.
