Hi
There are two schools of thought about Msg. Some people absolutely abhor it and claim to be allergic citing nerve disorders and a host of other issues.
It is a legal additive as far as I know worldwide and is a flavor enhancer. If you do some looking around on the net you will find it comes in many guises, almost any commercial product you look at will have it listed in one form or another. It was first isolated by a Japanese Chemist in 1933 from Wheat (Monosodium Glutatmate) and is not regulated.It is used heavily in Japanese cooking.
Last I checked the Japanese have the longest longevity in the world, so go figure, also MSG occurs naturally in the body.
All that being said. Personally I used to use Accent but for some reason it just didn't taste "right" so I no longer use it, and avoid products that have MSG on the label.
I guess this doesn't really answer your question. Just my 2 cents worth.
