Should I be cautious of chinese food?

Auzzie

I seem to remember that Chinese food wasn't the best thing in the world to have. Was there a reason?  Is it all chinese food or a particular item? We're going out for my FIL's bday and that's what he picked, I just wanted to double check. THANKS MUCH!

I hadn't heard that and I had Chinese food a lot.

I sure hope it's not bad - I've been eating it 3x a week for like 2 months now

My guess would be it's not so hot because of MSG (but most places don't even use it anymore).

Beautiful!! Thank you!!

 For some reason, after people telling me to watch out for DELI meat.. chinese food didn't seemed that far fetched. But now I'm excited for dinner!

if you have issues with MSG avoid it... but there are no health reasons to avoid.  I eat it all the time -had it for lunch actually

Holy crap, I hope not.  I've been eating it like it's my job! 

I am sure it is not great for you (especially considering how fattening it can be) but I hadn't heard anything about there being specific risks associated with it.

it is sodium... bad for swelling!

Eat it, but drink tons and tons of water!

Skoorbnibor! Thank you for the tip! I wouldn't have thought of it

I never heard of that before, but the only thing I can think of is the MSG. But I don't think most places use it anymore. Everything in moderation is the key. Maybe don't eat it everyday, but once in a while is perfectly fine.
