So does cyanide. Naturally occurring doesn't signify anything. We have had to breed out toxic traits from many plants for domestication. Just because a chemical can be found in food we consume doesn't mean anything besides we have allowed it to remain.

There is no scientific backing for that MSG is dangerous. None of the claims have been proven.
We know clearly that cyanide is dangerous.

The fact that msg is not dangerous is independent of the fact that it's naturally occurring in our food. Like I said, our food also naturally has cyanide in it. Naturally occurring is not significant in something's harm/benefit.

Yeah, I am completely agreeing with that part. Natural doesn't mean good, but is still used in marketing to imply that it's good/healthy/safe.
