I notice that when I eat foods with flavour enhancers (there are numerous ways of adding MSG without calling it MSG), I get a bit of a lift. Too much, though, and I get quite sick feeling, and a huge headache.
I know I'm sensitive to some colouring agents, too. The issue is not only the substance, but also the dose. And, as I mentioned somewhere else today, I discovered that taurine was an excellent antidote for MSG overdose from Chinese food take-out.
