From the Mayo Clinic, the top researchers in this area.

“However, researchers have found no definitive evidence of a link between MSG and these symptoms. Researchers acknowledge, though, that a small percentage of people may have short-term reactions to MSG. Symptoms are usually mild and don’t require treatment. The only way to prevent a reaction is to avoid foods containing MSG”

Maybe the food is so yummy, people get excited.

Did you read what you posted? The Mayo clinic admits that there are people who do have reactions to MSG. My reaction is short lived, maybe 30 minutes to an hour requires no treatment. I have known people who's face swells, it is called “Chinese food reaction” other people get a severe headache. It happens, obviously not to you but as far as that dinner invitation you offered me, forget it, I'm not coming.
