JEEEZUS... ok now i made another connection.. and it's a big one for me:

msg mimicks a neurotrasmitter... my ears go off the wall whenever i eat any retaurants meats like souvlaki or prepared beef (ie prepared in a facility and msg is added to preserve flavor)

killers:
sausage, salami, all that garbage meat.

I get literally 3-5 very scary loud intense "boings" in my ear per hour for a day after i eat a heavy sandwhich with meat like this

I also matched eating this with the weird "dripping" sound i have reported earlier here in my 'good' ear.. must be neurotrasmitters popping or something very deep inside.

So far all true... processed sugar, high sodium (salt), msg... they all hurt.

Me thinks MSG is the worse though! Glutamates. .whatever..

John, MSG (monosodium glutamate) is often in many of those things, but not ALWAYS in ALL of those things. I eat many of those things, no problem, yet I cannot eat MSG or parmesan cheese or dextrose because of the MSG. SOME things with natural flavors I can eat, others I can't. The problem is, you just don't know for a particular product until you try it.

I try a product shortly before bed so if my T goes off, I can go to bed soon. I also make a lot of stuff on my own using natural ingredients like people used to do before there was so much packaged food. It's healthier for me, not really that difficult, and I don't have to worry about my T going off. : ) There is plenty to eat if you eat REAL food instead of packaged food. : )

PS: Danny, yes, I have read a number of articles about MSG increasing both insulin AND cravings, so your feelings about the pizza could be exactly right.
