Is MSG Good for You?.

I notice in Asia ,Monosodium glutamate (MSG )is widely use in home ,restaurant and food processing factory.MSG is the sodium salt of the amino acid glutamic acid and a form of glutamate. It is sold as a fine white crystal substance, similar in appearance to salt or sugar. It does not have a distinct taste of its own, and how it adds flavor to other foods is not fully understood. Many scientists believe that MSG stimulates glutamate receptors in the tongue to augment meat-like flavors. But in US,American won't buy food where MSG have label on it.What make American so afraid of MSG?.A recent report shown that MSG as flavour enhancer trigger many different responses and can be over stimulated to cause cell death and other systemic problems.MSG added to the diet and has been shown to increase the test subject to eat more food faster and more frequently.There is mounting evidence that not only the rise in human obesity and diabetic is linked to the MSG but increase in Autism and ADHD as well.Isn't frightened to know such effect MSG will do to our body.My question is how FDA still approved MSG to sell widely in US?.I understand over in Asia,there is no food standard procedure guideline established in each country.I will never use MGS in my cooking but I use oyster sauce as flavour enhancer replacement.Isn't oyster sauce or any other sauce also contain MSG?.
