Do doritos have msg

Answer 1

Some Doritos do have MSG, as it is a common additive to snacks and foods which the companies either want to overwhelm you with flavor (Doritos, Jack Links,) or don't taste good on their own (ramen and many canned soups.) Most companies don't abbreviate it, but look for monosodium glutamate if you don't like the stuff. (Or if you do but want to limit it, as I do, check so you know how often you're eating it.)

The myth that it's bad for you is fairly thoroughly debunked, but hypochondriac conspiracy theories persist. Consider the ~1.5million tons China consumes every year (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/aug/12/msg-allergy-chinese-restaurant-syndrome-myth)

Personally I don't like the bad breath it gives me, and high salt/msg snacks also give me a sore throat the next day so I try to avoid it. (Other concentrated glutamates don't have this effect on me, so I don't worry about them.)

The connection with obesity isn't the msg directly, but that the msg makes it taste better so you eat more of it (regardless of what low quality the food is otherwise.)
