/ck/ - Food & Cooking

A lot of the studies cited in that paper aren't great studies or aren't being used in the correct context or are refuted by several other similar studies. I'd be happy to pick through the evidence offered for each claim made in that paper and discuss it?

For example it cites a chinese study showing correlation between daily msg intake and the likely hood of having a BMI over 23. Firstly ... fat people tend to eat more food and eating more food will be associated with a greater consumption overall and/or different types of food, but anyway.

This study considered relevant to the anti MSG brigade ...

Was used by this study ...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32625571/

Where it was used to establish the safety of MSG as a food additive for the european food safety authority because it was showing MSG consumption to be no real issue.

That paper does however give a figure of 3.2g/kg per day as an upper limit for no observed adverse effect level and then reduces it by a 'safety factor' of 100 to 320mg/kg per person per day which is what? 25g a day?
