um.no but it is really bad.

It is extremely unhealthy and could lead to cancer,but I would not say addictive.
-
Is it addictive? Not exactly. However, it makes the foods it is added to taste SOOOO good that you only want those foods because everything else tastes bland. Truth is, it's used to cover up the fact they've used sub-standard produce in the product. They add MSG (or any number of "flavour enhancers") to the product to make it taste better.

Yes it is. It acts as an excito-toxin that excites our taste buds and nerve cells and makes us think it tastes great when it doesn't leaving us with a desire for this drug again and again to get that same stimulus. And as it excites those cells, it kills them as they can't be agitated that much. MSG is added to 2/3 of our processed foods, and the amount added to our diet has doubled with each decade since the 1940s. In this form, free glutamate enters the blood stream 8 to 10 times faster than bound glutamate. Since the late 70's, the health epidemics associated with MSG toxicity have been on the rise at alarming rates...ADD, obesity,rage and anxiety disorders, sleep disorders,depression, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, asthma, migraine, heart conditions, neurological disorders. It's simple...too much MSG = illness. It can trigger in at any time in a person's life.
