The often - and often intentionally - misunderstood Monosodium Glutamate:

To the best knowledge I collected about MSG I say it is harmless and China restaurant syndrome does not exist, not in context of a reference to MSG. However, original Chinese food can contain ingreidnts and comnp0entnet snot used in Wetsenr cuisines and thus being exotic and Western digestive systems not being used to them, sauces, soy- related products , and certain mushrooms and rare vegetables on my mind. I can absolutely imagine that some of these may cause malaise, nausea or similar symptoms.MSG cannot and does not.

When we talk about glutamate, we mean glutamic acid (L-glutamic acid) and its salts. Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid that is a building block for proteins in nature and is therefore found in all living things. Our bodies also produce glutamic acid, where it performs a variety of functions, including acting as a messenger. Protein foods such as soya, yeast, cheese and tomatoes naturally contain glutamic acid. It is either bound to proteins or is free.

I come to use it frequently, mainly for meat and fish and dishes that are fried hot. One word of cautioning, tough: the temptation to overdose it due to the fine taste it gives, is high - but resist! I found to have a limit and if I exceed that limit, I may suffer a brief and sudden episode of diarrhoe, not different from eating too much salt in one rush or using too much soy sauce in one meal or too much oil of any kind. Too much is too much, and anything can become too much if you overdose it. So there is no sensational revelation about the danger of MSG in this, it just is like with any other thing you eat. Too much is too much.

I would not want to miss MSG in my cuisine. I do not care for MSG values on food labels. Like salt content, MSG content is not relevant for my health. Sugar content, quality of oil/fat, carbohydrate content and a huge variety of other chemical supplements added in the lab - that are relevant things one should watch out for. For salt and MSG values I do not care.
