MSG enhances the natural flavours of meats, poultry, seafood and many vegetables.It is also used in low fat foods to make up for flavor lost when fat is reduced or eliminated.Thats why most of the restaurants especially Chinese restaurants use this MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE in their recipies.But certain studies have found link between MSG and Fibromyalgia(Symptoms include chronic muscle pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and painful tender points or trigger points).So in your case we can consider that consumption of KFC chicken containing MSG causes pain in your left hand. It is found out that consumption of Dietery supplements containing VITAMIN-B6 or food rich in Vit-B6 reduces the effects of MSG in our body thus relieving the pain in your case.Some of the best sources of B6 include beans, poultry, fish, fortified cereals, dark leafy greens, papayas, orangesThe recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for adult men and women up to the age of 50 is 1.3 milligrams daily. Men over 50 have an RDA of 1.7 mg, while women over 50 have an RDA of 1.5 mg, according to NLM. One cup of cooked kidney beans contains 0.2 mg of vitamin B6, while a large orange has about 0.1 mg.
