A Whole-Food, Plant-Based Diet Is Not a Diet of Vegetables. You may have heard that people living this way eat lots of spinach, kale, and collard greens, and that this is, in fact, the primary basis for many of the meals. You may even think we live only on leafy and raw vegetables.
Subsequent experiments have helped dismantle the MSG-is-bad-for-you theory. For instance, in one study from 1993, researchers tested 71 subjects for reactions to MSG in relation to CRS, concluding that ârigorous and realistic scientific evidence linking the syndrome to MSG could not be found.â.
Ask anyone if MSG is dangerous, and youâll get a myriad of responses. Some of the more scientifically-minded among us will scoff at the notion that MSG is dangerous or poses real health risks. Sure, theyâll allow, there are a few sensitive people who get headaches or migraines when they eat it, but MSG doesnât actually harm the rest of us.
