It's a chemical that adversely effects the brain in many people.
It's along the same lines as Nutrasweet/aspartame/phenylenoline, Splenda, etc...your brain sees it as a toxin, and it's harmful to the brain.
I'm sure once or twice during your pregnancy isn't going to cause any harm. But a steady diet of msg is NOT a healthy thing for a human, pregnant or not!
MSG is otherwise known as Monosodium Glutamate. Read your labels--it's in a lot more than just Chinese food. (Companies like it because it's a flavor enhancer--it'll make anything taste good)! Campbell's soups all have monosodium glutamate in them, for example, as do most Lipton soup mixes, etc...
Drives me nuts what people will put in foods to make a buck!
