So the only thing I've really been randomly craving for the last couple weeks is cheetos... so I just went down to the cafeteria in my building picked some up and changed my FB status to "Mmmmm cheetos"
I get a super quick response: "Doesn't that have MSG?"
Followed by a: "Oooh pregnant women should not eat MSG unless they want three armed babies"
Has anyone heard of this?! Can I seriously not have any more cheetos?!
Re: No more cheetos?!
it's kind of funny the things people tell you to stay away from while pregnant . . .
MSG is perfectly safe, it's not great nutritionally, but if you're eating it in moderation it won't hurt anything. Just make sure it's your once in a while snack as opposed to your lunch every day : )
Enjoy those Cheetos!
DD is allergic to MSG, so we've pretty much cut it out of our diet for the last year or so.
But, who can resist cheetos?

I've heard to stay away from it, but just for nutritional reasons - nothing to do with harming the baby. If you're not going to eat a whole giant size bag in one sitting and you're eating them in moderation go for it!
PS - I did not know Cheetos has MSG... makes me wonder what I'm eating when I splurge on stuff.
I ate an entire bag of cheetos in one sitting during my first tri, and LO definitely only has two arms!
