To start with, not all Chinese meals are alike. “American” Chinese food with its bevy of egg rolls, chow mein and spare ribs is very different from what is consumed in China. Even in China there are large geographic differences with a wide range of meat consumption and rice being popular in some regions and noodles in others. The lack of satiety accusation is usually aimed at American Chinese food with monosodium glutamate (MSG) often targeted as a culprit.</p> Fri, 04 Oct 2019 17:21:29 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 7950 at /oss
