I guess anybody can say anything and people will believe it! Your body breaks everything you eat down into different chemicals. Read a college nutrition book!

From what I understand is that MSG is not a synthetic chemical. But it is an extract from a food source. Some people are allergic to it, but I wouldn't say it's a dangerous additive

Not a good thing to ingest. Stick to whole foods like those you can pick off a tree or grow in a garden. Since this world has started spraying foods with pesticides, adding things like MSG, so much more disease.
