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..

ugh... terrible typo that happens all the time when i'm typing, my fingers constantly skip "not" when I say it in my head.

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

That makes a lot more sense!

It especially put it on chips that have no flavor - or when the chips are only lightly salted.

Works wonders!
