From Conservapedia - Reading time: 1 min

**Needs Development**

Monosodium Glutamate is a food additive used to artificially improve the perception of food flavor. It is classified as an excitotoxin and is considered by many independent health researchers to be harmful to human health, causing problems from obesity to ADHD.[1] [2] The FDA, however, maintains that MSG and other glutamates are safe and healthy to consume.[3]
