There's a myth that MSG is bad for you and is found in Chinese restaurants. MSG has been studied extensively and never found to cause the symptoms people claim, furthermore MSG is used widely in a huge range of food production (lots of sauces, fast foods etc etc)

MSG is very common in mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and tomatoes. It's why people love Italian food ao much
