Don't forget MSG! It gets a bad image, but is Delicious and NOT poison.

EDIT: shit, what a terrible typo. that was not meant to be funny/sarcasm - it was meant to be literal, that MSG is delicious and basically safe.

Sorry..

How is it poison? I've read that your body metabolizes msg better than salt, and msg is more potent meaning you can use less salt if you add a tiny bit of msg.

Pretty sure it's a typo, since it's a self contradicting statement
