MSG as a food ingredient has been the subject of some health concerns. A report from the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) compiled in 1995 on behalf of the FDA concluded that MSG was safe for most people when “eaten at customary levels.” However, it also said that, based on anecdotal reports, some people may have an MSG intolerance which causes worsening of asthmatic symptoms.While many people believe that monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the cause of these symptoms, an association has never been demonstrated under controlled conditions, even in studies with people who were convinced that they were sensitive to the compound.Adequately controlling for experimental bias includes a placebo-controlled double-blinded experimental design and the application in capsules because of the strong and unique after-taste of glutamates. see this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_restaurant_syndrome
