I think the actual culprit was... something starting with T? Can't remember.
I am highly allergic to the sulphites and want to mention that years ago my cat Misha got into some MSG (an empty 50 lb bag blew onto my patio when I was living in the city, it came from a manufacturing plant) and she developed a cough. That cough turned into lung cancer. Those chemicals that are supposed to break down proteins to tenderize meat do, and they break down the delicate structure that makes living organs as well.

Anyway based on that experience and many others I do not want to use MSG but again for me the sulphites are deadly.
