Some people are allergic to MSG, but you have to realize that some people are also allergic to eggs, wheat, and sugar. MSG is a naturally occuring chemical in foods. Originally, MSG was recognized by a Japanese scientist as a "fifth" flavor in soup broth that didn't fit into the typical categories (bitter, sweet, salt, sour). He devised a way to single out this fifth flavor and that's how we got MSG.
Google: monosodium glutamate
