Food that contains MSG will make a child turning and running around, In fresh0fish the security prosecutes the hyperactive child and give him GABA, but GABA can cause turning and running around everywhere. Actually, the above answer is incoherent and completely wrong! There is absolutely NO connection between the consumption of MSG and hyperactivity in children! Did you know that 97% of all of the glutamate (both free and bound) that is consumed is utilized by the intestines as an energy source?? Only 3% can make it through into the bloodstream - which is insignificant compared to the amount naturally circulating in the bloodstream that is made by the body itself. The liver is also instrumental in providing a tight control of blood glutamate levels - so there are no to very minor fluctuations after the consumption of food containing glutamate (which is, by the way, the most common amino acid!) The only time you might have problems with glutamate is if you consume it by spoonfulls on an empty stomach, or if it is applied to the body in an unnatural way, such as through intravenous or direct injection. These myths about the evils of MSG are truly frustrating to anyone knowledgeable to nutrition and real (instead of hyped) science!

Where does MSG come from?

MSG is the sodium crystaline form of glutamate acid decarboxylase (GAD) which is a non essential proteingenic amino acid. GAD is used in the pancreas to convert citric acid into various compounds using chemical reactions. It is also used in the cerebellum to fire neurons across synapses. MSG was first discovered by a Japanese univeristy professor when he boiled water and seaweed until all of the water had evaporated. Only the monosodium glutamate crystals were left at the bottom of the beaker. So MSG is essential glutamate acid after all water content has left (Along with other chemicals) and only the pure glutamate is left. However MSG is a very concentrated source of GAD so it is bad for you in nearly any dose, it can cause seizures and even diabetes. GAD is naturally found (in healthy quanities) in meat, fish, and poultry.

Is preservative 621 good for you?

There's no such thing. Numbers in the 600 range are used for flavor enhancers, not preservatives. 621 happens to be the sodium salt of glutamic acid, otherwise known as monosodium glutamate or MSG. Glutamic acid is an amino acid... a building block for proteins... and sodium is slowly recovering its reputation after being branded as icky bad evil for a couple of decades (turns out, sodium in moderation is fine! Who would have thought?). I don't think I'd go so far as to say "good for you", though.
