I hope I write it correct.. :-/

When you eat outside and especially fast food, probably you feel hungry a lot quicker than normal.. Reason is this chemical added to those foods.. its an excitotoxin (another one I hardly write)

[Nickbat]

Monosodium glutamate, also known as sodium glutamate and MSG, is a sodium salt of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid. It is used as a food additive and is commonly marketed as a flavour enhancer. It has the HS code 29224220 and the E number E621. Trade names of monosodium glutamate include Ajinomoto, Vetsin, Ac'cent, "Sazón Goya" and Tasting Powder. It was once made predominantly from wheat gluten, but is now made mostly from bacterial fermentation; it is acceptable for coeliacs following a gluten-free diet.

Although traditional East Asian cuisine had often used seaweed extract, which contains high concentrations of glutamic acid, it was not until 1907 that MSG was isolated by Kikunae Ikeda. MSG was subsequently patented by Ajinomoto Corporation of Japan in 1909. In its pure form, it appears as a white crystalline powder that, as a salt, dissociates into sodium cations and glutamate anions while dissolving (glutamate is the anionic form of glutamic acid).

There are health concerns about the use of monosodium glutamate in food, but few are scientifically supported.

MSG, not very nice stuff especially for myself. I have an allergic reaction (if that's the right term) to it.
If i eat enough of it, i will suffer from nose bleeds, head aches, I can't concentrate on tasks & worst of all i'm a Jekyll & Hyde. I'm embarrassed to say not a very nice person at all in my Hyde guise 

I keep away from it & i'm ok (though only some say)

unfortunately they dont write this MSG note on all foods and have many side effects

Yup - MSG was, essentially, 'invented' in Asia - Wikipedia has more; but the modern MSG replaced traditional seaweed derived glutamic acid.

Essentially, they've been eating the stuff over in Asia in it's current form for over 100 years - and they don't seem to be dropping dead yet Thus, I don't worry about MSG.. 


And now I want a Chinese..

Like aaronjb says, it has been consumed in the far east for well over a hundred years and their population is noted for longevity. Most of that though is down to a good diet and excercise with the addition of a work ethic which they believe is their duty to do.
In itself MSG will not burn calories or in any other way shape or form stop anyone getting fat by its addition to food. Its sole use is as a flavour enhancer because the lesser quality types of food can be made to appear as flavoursome and more palatable. Why it has been banned in this country I have no idea but I still get it and use it and have never had any side effects. Bit like salt really, its bad for you too and eventually I think some wally do-gooder will ban that outright too. After all, what else can the public servant do for us apart from make our lives more miserable?
