Question about MSG-freaking out!!
Okay, so tonight for dinner I ate Chinese food that I know contains some MSG. I read an article (before I ate) from babycenter magazine that said there is no proof that MSG is linked to any brain problems or autism or anything of that nature. It said the main reason to avoid msg is b/c it has been know to make prego people feel sick to their stomach.
Then after I ate it I was feeling a little nervous about my choice of eating it. So, I jumped back on the net to find articles saying that it does (in rats-in large amounts) lead to a list of problems. I also read that MSG is used in resaurants and potato chips AND of course, Chinese food.
Any advice would be sooo great. Maybe I should call my midwife tomorrow and ask her...I don't know...maybe I've been eating it in a lot more foods than I think. I just want a healthy baby like anyone else. And the list just goes on and on of things you shouldn't do...and it so scary to learn you've done that
