 Rumor: Coke + MSG = Aphrodisiac
Some people have been lead to believe that combining Coca-Cola with MSG (monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer) creates an aphrodisiac.
 Our Response: MSG is a flavor enhancer used in many foods, but it is not an ingredient in Coca-Cola. There is no factual or scientific basis for concluding that Coca-Cola is an aphrodisiac -- whether or not it is combined with MSG.
