What an ignorant thing to say. MSG is the well-known artificial form,
but glutamates occur naturally in many foods and there is little doubt
about their flavor-enhancing properties. Do you also avoid aged
cheese (including parmesan), soy sauce, tomatoes, peas, mushrooms,
broccoli, and grapes?

Then there's the whole "umami" taste factor, which has been discussed
here a number of times. -aem
