::Can you find a citation for that? The FDA doesn't seem to think so. And people being afraid to consume it doesn't mean anything. See [[ad populum]]. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 21:21, 23 November 2008 (EST)

::(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)
