MSG is used as commonly in other countries as sodium chloride (table
salt) is used in the US. Those MSG using countries seem to not have
issues with high blood pressure or obesity.

The fraction of a percent of the US population who are sensitive to MSG
and get headaches should avoid it, everyone else should ignore the
idiotic propaganda and worry about stuff that has real issues associated
with it like HFCS.
