We never stopped using MSG. My grandma will not cook until she gets MSG. The ajinomoto brand was a big hit in Philippine cuisine.

They've been saying that MSG is bad for you for 50 years. Most old Asian people born in the 70s are still alive today and doing just fine despite having MSG in their diet. The important thing is moderation.

TRUE, SCIENCE EVOLVES
BUT THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL

It's not MSG, it's the corn starch used as a thickening agent in various Chinese dishes. Some studies show it is worse than sugar. It's also primarily responsible for American obesity problem.

Pluto is not a planet anymore, not because of science but disagreement of scientists

You need to dive a little deeper into the MSG controversy before saying that it's just fine for us to consume.
