Whats the difference between MSG and salt?!
Answers:
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. Glutamate is a naturally occurring amino acid that is found in nearly all foods, especially high protein foods such as dairy products, meat and fish and in many vegetables. Foods often used for their flavouring properties, such as mushrooms and tomatoes, have high levels of naturally occurring glutamate.
Salt, also known as table salt, or rock salt, is a mineral that is composed primarily of sodium chloride. The manufacture and use of salt is one of the oldest chemical industries. Salt can be obtained by evaporation of sea water, usually in shallow basins warmed by sunlight; salt so obtained was formerly called bay salt, and is now often called sea salt or solar salt. Rock salt deposits are formed by the evaporation of ancient salt lakes, and may be mined conventionally or through the injection of water. Injected water dissolves the salt, and the brine solution can be pumped to the surface where the salt is collected.
MSG enhances the flavour of food. Eg. If you're eating a beef pie, MSG would make it "beefier" and give it a stronger taste. Eating too much MSG does make you thirsty though.
On the other hand, salt does enhance the flavour of food, but not as much as MSG.
Personally, i find MSG worse for your health.

Sea Salt is the real salt
Table salt is MAN-MADE !
