today they Consume about 300 times that
over 30% of people are found to be extra sensitive to msg if consuming over 5 grams in one sitting
90% of the popultaion are oversensitive if consuming more than 10 grams
US FDA defines MSG as "naturally ocurring" so it has it on its GRAS list (grenerally regarded as safe)

These are both additives that I try to avoid. MSG is notorious for causing headaches. I am diabetic and I even avoid aspartame and other artificial sweetners due to bad reactions. I also find that the side effects increase for those of us with mood swing problems and intestinal problems. It is time consuming to have to read the ingredients on each label of anything we are considering purchasing. I will continue to try to avoid those additives.
