while you are over here complaining about MSG being in food

Because I am concerned about the whole picture just not half of it. MSG is used to increase food cravings and irresistibility, so you eat more than you should. Linked to headaches, obesity, depression, and mental disorders. It is also an excitotoxin (excites brain cells to death), which is associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

The things it is found in - Frozen meals, chips, dressings, soups, rice and pasta mixes etc are NOT healthy.

There are ramifications from thinking you are eating healthy when reality is totally different. MSG should not be in anything. It has zero value other than trying to turn you into an addict of unhealthy foods.

I didn’t say they were good for you, I said that they didn’t impede fat loss and didn’t show negative effects on biomarkers

But just like what Dante wrote you take things out of context. And John died from clotting disorder he had since he was a child

And I never said things like cancer was minor, I said focusing on things like removing ever little things while being 25% bf is dumb and majoring in the minors.

Always go for longest hanging fruit and minimum effective dose.

Yea msg is the problem in the US lol

It’s one of many problems. It conditions people like you to eat stuff that isn’t healthy when you think you are actually eating ‘healthy’. You are addicted and will rationalize it any way possible. Just read this thread as evidence. It serves no purpose. None. Keep sucking back those zero sugar Monsters though.

Does your brand of hot sauce have MSG in it? Why not if there is no issue with MSG?

I don’t need MSG to make steaks, ground beef, cheese, eggs, bacon Etc ‘taste good’. That’s the whole issue.

Yeah I’m sure it had nothing to do with the 30 years of androgen and anabolic use. It was ‘genetic’ just like every other bodybuilder that dies right? If I had a dollar for every time I have heard that excuse the last 20 years I’d be a Billionaire. I’m not here to shite on John Meadows he was a super nice genuine guy.

Again, you don’t need MSG to make sauces, condiments, dressings etc taste good. It is used as an additive to get you hooked on the foods it is in. That’s it. That’s its only actual purpose.

Its frickin salt, dude

fat frick here. im enjoying this conversation. 777 I think what youre arguing for is the Pareto Principle (80/20 rule). The 20% of things (low protein and too many calories) are causing 80% obesity. You always fix the main thing causing the problems first and then move on to the next smaller thing.

I take it you don’t add salt to tomatoes ever. Gotta avoid getting addicted to food and all.
