Yeah, the grandparent is talking out of their rear-end. MSG is well researched and relatively safe. There have been numerous studies refuting the existence of "Chinese restaurant syndrome" and/or attributing the symptoms to allergy to MSG. "Syndrome" was originally a self-reported case study and none subsequent studies with n>10 have been able to replicate the case.
