Reply to comment by fredsam25 in TIL MSG occurs naturally in tomatoes and other vegetables. by pm-me-all-tits

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.
