::(ec)People being afraid of it is not indicative of being addictive.  I think what you're talking about is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_restaurant_syndrome "Chinese restaurant syndrome] which is kind of an urban legend [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamic_acid_(flavor)#Health_concerns}].  The restaurants say "No MSG" because people are afraid, yes, but that doesn't mean the people who are afraid are informed.  Life's a little rough over here right now, so I'm not sure if that really makes much sense.  I hope it helps, though.  [[User:LiamG|LiamG]] 21:26, 23 November 2008 (EST)

:::(edit conflict) I have added two quotes from doctors about MSG while you were writing this comment, I believe. Also, I think you are confused in your edit comment about "regulation and food scares". There is a big difference in liberals unduly calling for bans on [[trans fats]] and conservatives calling for regulation of poison and highly addictive drugs in food. Remember that the D in FDA is there for a reason: drugs. Not acceptable in food, in playgrounds or elsewhere.  -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 21:28, 23 November 2008 (EST)
