Nope. MSG is a pure neurotoxin, plain and simple. It solely serves the purpose to excite nerve cells to the point of death. This is what it is and does.
By FDA definition, processed free glutamic acid (MSG) is "naturally occurring," because the basic ingredient is found in nature. "Naturally occurring" does not mean that a food additive is being used in its natural state. "Naturally occurring" only means that the food additive began with something found in nature. By FDA definition, the ingredient "monosodium glutamate" is natural. So is hydrochloric acid. So is arsenic. "Natural" doesn't mean "safe."

I agree that natural =/= safe since everything comes from nature. However my point is if something is found in food products that are considered healthy, isn't it a bit overreacting to say something is harmful in moderation?
