There is a ton of controversy surrounding MSG in the natural health community. It is claimed to cause asthma, headaches and even brain damage. On the other hand, most official sources like the FDA claim that MSG is safe. I feel, all said and done, you can taste a bit as part of your profession and can believe that there is no such harm as people say
