MSG can make some people sick. For me I've always gotten much worse symptoms than feeling sick. If I accidentally consume something with even tiny amounts of free glutamate(active part of MSG) I become almost completely mentally incapacitated for days. My memory will be terrible. I'll be surprised I have a cat, for example. This is not just a little temporary brain fog; it is causing some permanent damage to my brain as well. It's a matter of sensitivity which can be caused by several factors such as low blood sugar, magnesium deficiency and a damaged blood brain barrier. The safe amount is different for everyone and it's not even known what the unsafe threshold is for anyone because damage of a smaller degree may not cause noticeable symptoms immediately but after several years of consumption have an accumulative effect that could cause decreased mental and memory capacity later.

MSG is the food additive (flavoring) monosodium glutamate, marketed under the brand names Ajinomoto, Vetsin, or Accent. The chemical is a sodium salt of the amino acid glutamic acid, and is marketed as a "flavor enhancer". It was commonly added to packaged retail foods until concerns about possible side effects in the 1990's. These were later found to be less significant, but many foods are still labeled as having "no MSG" (they may, however, still contain glutamates).
