In celebration of the lunar New Years today, I am posting this Op-Ed from the New York Times in praise of MSG and the concentration of umami it offers. It basically questions the current orthodoxy against MSG in light of current research that cast a relatively innocuous light on the additive. I guess the best argument against the idea that MSG is deleterious is that if that was true, than wouldn't a billion people in Asia right now suffer so-called "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome?"
The op-ed is here.
