"Like many people, I thought MSG — monosodium glutamate, a chemical
compound used to enhance the flavor of food — was bad for me, and I was
sure I felt terrible every time I ate it."

People prefer easy explanations, particularly if they fit conveniently
into their established worldview.  Via Irreverent Monk.
