I am very fond of Chinese food and one of my cousins warned me not to eat too much of Chinese food as it has ajinomoto or MSG. What do you think? have you ever seen any cases of such type?

it had been a major issue before and it said that using AJINOMOTO in dishes causes brain ailment/illness...some say that Monosodium Glutamate(MSG) affects the function of the brain. Contrary to popular belief, it does not contain gluten, and is therefore safe to be eaten by people with Coeliac disease. The Ajinomoto company was formed to manufacture and market MSG in Japan; the name 'Ajinomoto' means "essence of taste". Ajinomoto also popularized the term "UMAMI".
