Subsequent experiments have helped dismantle the MSG-is-bad-for-you theory. For instance, in one study from 1993, researchers tested 71 subjects for reactions to MSG in relation to CRS, concluding that ârigorous and realistic scientific evidence linking the syndrome to MSG could not be found.â.
Best Answer: MSG is just another form of salt. There is nothing inherently BAD about it but some people do react negatively to it and get headaches or intestinal problems when they use it.
