Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, has a sordid past. Many Americans look at MSG as anything from a dietary problem to a silent killer. In reality, if MSG poses a problem it doesn’t stem from the flavor enhancer itself, but where you tend to find it. Bellatti explains:
Yes and no. Some people don't respond to it well. My main thing with MSG is that it's a marker for highly processed foods.
Dr. Nadolsky also explains that most of our information about MSG doesn’t really add up to much:
MSG is commonly demonized as giving people headaches, and it's possible that some people are more sensitive to MSG or currently unknown reasons; these people can avoid MSG and treat it like some manner of allergen, but this doesn't mean that it is inherently bad (we don't know). MSG is often cited as causing obesity, but that is induced in mice with direct injections into the brain and 'supported' by binges at Chinese food establishments.
So should you avoid it? Sure, if it bothers you. Small amounts, however, shouldn’t have an impact on most people so don’t let it throw you into a panic.
