Got a takeaway last night,veggie curry with rice and tofu.

It was a Japanese takeaway at a food market.

A few hours later I started feeling dehydrated and dizzy,not really a headache but close to certain it was the takeaway.

The is the third time now after eating Asian takeaway that I've experienced these symptons

MSG perhaps or some other chemical used to make the food taste better at the cost of our health I guess.


Cook it yourself and at least you know what's in it I say.

Your problem was there was no meat. Your body was telling u it wanted some b12, iron and the yumminess of something that used to have feelings.

The problem is you thought you ordered Chinese food while it was actually Japanese food.
In regards to MSG its been scientifically proven, ie giving people food they suspect to have MSG added such as Chinese takeaway and then measuring their reaction to MSG which was marked. Then giving the same people food that they don't suspect to have MSG added in such as roast lamb. The same people don't complain of symptoms caused by MSG.

I saw a doco that proved MSG was a load of sh!te. Urban myth. People had 'reactions' based on their assumption that it was there. There are also quite high levels of glutamates in vegies (notably cruciform vegies and especailly broccoli I think) that SOME people react to. Those who truly react to glutamates is a very very small group.
Could it really just be that we are not used tot he food? Like Indian etc can give you the poops the next morning - but it doesn't for Indians does it?

But Pete would just love for it to be true...

I suspect they cooked with fluoridated water & added some chemtrails to the dish

It sounds more like you were dehydrated.
I get that a lot with takeaways. I don't know why.
Maybe it's just because there's lots of salt in it,.. or something similar.
Pizza does it most noticeably.

Easy enough to fix. Just drink lots of orange drink or water.

If it's on the internet it must be true? Lots of finger pointing and outright hysterical claims about msg, but none have any real scientific backup that actually support any of it.

I certainly would not trust the "word" from a site like this one that's pure existence is to sell it's own brand of Healthy Pharmaceutical products......I know it seems like you should trust the word of a company selling Pharmaceuticals, but really you should be a bit more aware of possible attempts by others to mislead you by distorting the truth......

I would be more inclined to believe this theconversation.com/mondays-medical-myth-msg-is-a-dangerous-toxin-4560 at least he has a disclosure statement saying he has no interests that may benefit from the article.....

I don't discount the people who say they have issues from eating Asian foods, but a close look at the facts suggest anything other than mild symptoms from too much are more likely to come from another source. I recall a sydney university study suggesting some soy products could be a cause. A lot of the symptoms listed I get after a too long a session in the ocean....I know it's from too much absorbed salt and not drinking enough water....

As the article says - a western style burger and chips has as much msg as an asian meal....Spag bol does too if you like your Parmesan cheese....Chicken Parmigiana probably has more....vegemite on toast..........all silent killers??

Medical researchers today unveiled petermac33 syndrome. The researchers claimed the syndrome is easily diagnosed by far-fetched claims, gaseous vapour trails, elevated fluoride and a lack of iron in the blood as well as a distinct lack of “meaty” substance.

A lot of fruit n veg have msg naturally as well.

I started replacing the msg when cooking with lsd, still makes me feel a bit weird 1/2hr after eating it, but in a good way.

That would make for some good food related flashbacks.....

msg actually has a lower sodium content than table salt so is better for anyone trying to reduce sodium for blood pressure. You use less too.

Absolute best use is on steak. A premium eye fillet rubbed with MSG before cooking is just wow....

Sorry buddy you've been infected with radiation and GMO soy... and you thought fluoride and aspartame were bad, you ain't seen nothing!

Did you then try and find the MSG to watch the cricket?

Did someone say tin foil hats?
