I'm skeptical of any food that humans only started eating since the industrial revolution, including those that are derivatives of or isolated compounds of real food. Mostly the effects on our bodies are not well studied. I haven't specifically read studies on msg though.

I wouldn't worry too much about MSG in particular, since it is also mostly made by fermentation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate
