Nothing wrong with MSG. It’s the building block of the savory taste the same way sodium chloride is the building block of the salty taste.
The whole thing about MSG sensitivity and it being bad for you was largely xenophobic in origin, and a fascinating example of the nocebo effect.
In college I remember hearing about a study where they gave people who claimed to have MSG sensitivity a Chinese meal and an Italian meal. They claimed to have symptoms after the Chinese meal. But that particular Chinese meal had no MSG in it. Meanwhile, people didn’t report symptoms from the Italian meal, which was chock-full of MSG.
Do yourself a favor: get a shaker of MSG from your local grocery store and put that shit on eggs (along with salt). It’s amazing what a pinch of “the flavor enhancer” does.
Edit: also nothing wrong with fluoride in the water at the doses we get it. It’s good for developing stronger teeth.
The msg “scare” was such bullshit. MSG is the fuckin bomb for making those quick meals taste great when you’re in a rush. And good meals even better when you got time.

I make a “savory salt” that I just use in place of salt. It’s not a miracle or anything, but it’s definitely good.

Big ass bottle of MSG in the drawer with the rest of the bulk spices. It is mandatory that my food is properly seasoned.
