Same situation with MSG. People will freak out at the mention of cooking with MSG. But will stuff themselves with Glutamate loaded foods. Love Jerky, Parm Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Sauteed Mushrooms, all Meat and Seafood? ALL HIGH IN GLUTAMIC ACID, AKA GLUTAMATE. And, how come we seek out these flavors? Glutamate, Sugar and Salt are the first flavors that hits our tongue as a newborn. Breast Milk is high in Glutamate, Sugar and Salt and we crave them from birth on.
I really love the Health Kooks that will chastise you for eating the Cured Christmas Ham all the while eating plates of Celery Crudite and Spinach Dip or Salad...JJ
