Message: <blockquote data-quote="vishamacharya" data-source="post: 29974450" data-attributes="member: 564005">Exactly. That's the actual story behind "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome". From a paper published in 1986: <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3525357/" target="_blank">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3525357/</a>The Chinese Restaurant Syndrome arose from an anecdote of discomfort experienced after eating Chinese cuisine. Monosodium glutamate has been implicated as the causative agent. Work over the past 17 years has consistently failed to reveal any objective sign accompanying the transient sensations that some individuals experience after the experimental ingestion of monosodium glutamate and it is questionable whether the term 'Chinese Restaurant Syndrome' has any validity. When some common food materials are used in the same experimental setting, similar symptoms can be produced in a limited number of people. Double-blind testing of individuals who identify themselves as suffering the 'syndrome' has failed to confirm the role of monosodium glutamate as the provocative agent. Like anything else, MSG is safe in moderate quantities.</blockquote>
