Especially in case they are not religions but nutjob criminal companies.

I'm pretty sure they'd fit all the requirements of a religion.

I don't consider the German government as experts in deciding what religious belief systems qualify as "criminal conspiracies", despite the fact that said government used to be one.

For the first time ever, you have made me laugh!

You'll be declaring yourself to be an atheist next.

no, that'll do thanks. I was not interested in whether or not MSG was bad for your health, but rather whether you were extolling something as fact without any proof, even enough to convince yourself by the looks.

..... and ..... did I pass the test ?

So what is the Netherlands outlook on these "dangerous frauds"?

They are QUITE well received in the Netherlands Antilles. Their Flag Ship the "Freewinds" spends part of every single week docked in Curacao and Bonaire. Should they expect any changes when Bonaire becomes an official Dutch City next year?

I'm just interested because I see their ship every week.

I did find it a bit puzzling that you didn't check out the site I gave you more thouroughly, before asking for more research on MSG.

If you took the trouble to do so you would have found the following information very easily by clicking on the link "Related Research" on the site's first page. I found it again "puzzling" that you managed to draw the conclusion that you did not find "proper proof" of the health risks involved and the correlation between MSG intake and these illnesses. You only saw "conjecture and circumstantial correlation" at this site.

I found it quite amazing that you were able to draw the conclusion you mentioned in your post since there is such a lot of scientific research on the matter to check out.


..... but you gave the solution yourself : You are not interested in the negative health consequenses of MSG intake or any of the other substances, flavour enhancers and sweeteners, like aspartame (Nutrasweet), which are added to our food in large quantities.
