Why is there so much unfounded hate towards MSG?

MSG has had a bad reputation ever since a 1960's study in the New England Journal of Medicine published a report from ONE doctor, describing his OWN symptoms.
MSG is the sodium salt of the common amino acid glutamic acid. Glutamic acid is naturally present in our bodies, and in many foods and food additives.
MSG occurs naturally in many foods, such as tomatoes and cheeses. People have eaten glutamate-rich foods throughout history. For example, a historical dish in the Asian community is a glutamate-rich seaweed broth. In 1908, a Japanese professor was able to extract glutamate from this broth and determined that glutamate provided the savory taste to the soup. MSG is now produced by the fermentation of starch, sugar beets, sugar cane or molasses. This process is similar to that used to make yogurt, vinegar and wine.
The FDA considers MSG safe to eat. The average person consumes about 13g MSG naturally and about 0.55g added MSG per day. Glutamic acid has nothing to do with gluten.

It gives me a headache.

Humans follow mindlessly without research or personal experience, en masse.

And the food world and the science world are just like the FASHION world, i.e. they move through FADS.

Whole wheat was once good, now there's "wheat belly".
Once butter was out, oleo and Crisco were in . . . now they're out and butter is the star.
Canola oil was great but now it's GMO so it's bad.
Soy products were the bomb but now GMO makes 'em bad.
Alcohol was a bad drug, now it is good for your heart.
Fat and cholesterol were HORRIBLE things to rid yourself of!! Now they are actually GOOD things, it is sugar that is so bad.
Chocolate was an awful poison, now it fights bacteria and helps your brain.

In 20 years we will be praising the health benefits of MSG, just hang on.

A final word - just use moderation (not too much, not too little) in everything and you will be happy.

Your correct but msg is used to fill people up for very short period idk if anyone hates msg but feel there ripped off of food msg is a filler.

cause its bad for u

Don't like Pennywise at all, but agree with you about MSG.

It does affect a lot of people even if claim all natural. As for myself each time I had food that contain MSG it is immediate throwing up within minutes of eating.

I find that it doesn't really enhance the taste of food, and actually gives it sort of an odd, sweetish taste. Use fresh ingredients and cook with skill and you don't need msg.

man made MSG is not natural is it? this stuff called accent? I don't believe it is natural?
