Common people always create many thought about something they do not really know without knowing wheter it's true or not. Just like about monosodium glutamate or usually called MSG. MSG itselft is food flavoring which it made from many ingredients. MSG is composed of 78% Glutamate, 12% Sodium and 10% water. High content of glutamate is what causes a savory taste in all kinds of cuisine. Because the making of MSG is through chemical process, people start to think that MSG is not good for their health, and MSG is just one of many junk food. People often say that consuming too much MSG will make someone suffer from cancer. The truth is, consuming food flavoring won't kill somebody, as long as they didn't eat too much. Something too much always lead you to something bad. An optimum point of savory taste that can be felt by someone, that is maximum 5 grams / day. Eat less than 5 grams MSG every day, you'll be okay.
