Thanks for that - makes sense!! Will check the ingredients on the stuff I use next time. - I can't belkieve its still legal to use MSG!! As far as I know it was banned in Australia over 10 years ago because its so bad for you. Did you know that it is a main ingredient in Pringles?!! Once you pop you can't stop - I wonder why!!! Lol, thanks again.
