Abbreviation for the chemical monosodium glutamate, the forumla is:

HOOCCH2CH2CH(NH2)COONa·H2O

This chemical is an additive which is used in many types of foods including pre-packaged foods such as Doritos and Cheetos, as well as fresh foods such as Chinese and Japanese cuisine. It is usually found most abundantly in ramen.

The FDA classifies MSG as safe - however, some people do have reactions to the substance that include headaches, nausea, etc. Additionally, some people feel that MSG is a widespread cause of cancer, suicide, and the like (for example: www.msgtruth.org). These allegations are regarded by most scientists as complete nonsense, and the allegations are made only by "off-the-wall" scientific groups, these groups being not unlike fundamentalists in terms of absurdity.

Contrary to popular belief and the other definitions found here, MSG is primarily used in order to stimulate the sensory taste umami. (Americans, of course, do not using words that are not "American", and thus bastardized the word into "savoriness".)

In Asian cuisine, MSG is used abundantly only in cheaper or pre-packaged foods. In finer Asian cuisine, MSG is used sparingly or, as some chefs find MSG to be "cheating", not at all.
"Umami! Umami! I must taste some umami! I'm going to go find some MSG-food"

"Part of the reason ramen tastes so good is because of the MSG used in it"

"The fundamentalist denounced MSG as sinful towards God"

Monosodium Glutamate, the brainchild of a top-secret Oriental-sponsored military project to render white people bald, fat, and impotent for the impending yellow invasion commencing in the 22nd Century.

Adding MSG to common foods found in your local Ranch 99 market was not difficult, since Monosodium Glutamate is practically the only thing in Oriental cuisine ("Chinese food") that tastes good to non-Asians.
Save yourselves and avoid buying products imported from the Far East containing MSG.
