MSG: A Slow Poison

By Lois Lenz

25 years ago, four of us went to dinner at Dr. Hoagley Woagley’s Texas Barbecue in California. We all ordered different meals in order to test them. I ordered roast beef, and everyone raved about how tender it was. Within an hour, I became deathly ill. I felt as though my heart was totally dry and very painful.

We rushed home and I drank my old-fashioned remedy against food poisoning — apple cider vinegar, honey, and water — and I slowly returned to normal. My roast beef must have been loaded with MSG, but I thankfully, I was aware.

It is almost impossible to avoid all MSG, and this kept us out of the hospital twice on cross-country trips when we got bad food — and kept us out of the hospital!
