MSG is not inherently dangerous; decades of research, including the FDA/FASEB review and GRAS status, find no evidence that typical MSG intake harms most people, with only a small subset possibly experiencing mild symptoms at very high doses. The long-standing fear traces to a flawed 1968 letter and xenophobia, not science, so in moderation MSG-containing foods are generally safe to enjoy.
No. 15 Alabama upset fifth-ranked St. John's 103-96 at Madison Square Garden, with Labaron Philon Jr. scoring 25 points and key contributions from Aden Holloway and Latrell Wrightsell, ending St. John's 12-game MSG winning streak and marking Alabama's strong start to their challenging early-season schedule.

A TikTok food scientist, Hydroxide, challenges the misconception that MSG is harmful, explaining that it is composed of sodium and glutamate, a common amino acid, and that studies show no significant health effects at normal levels.

The debate highlights ongoing misinformation and resistance to scientific evidence, with some commenters mocking the persistence of these beliefs.
The New York Knicks are heading into the final game of the regular season with uncertain playoff scenarios, potentially facing the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, or other opponents. A win could secure the second seed, while a loss might drop them to fourth. Regardless, they are guaranteed to start the postseason at Madison Square Garden. The team's focus is on beating the Bulls and achieving their first 50-win season since 2012-13, with the playoff picture still unclear until all the games are finished.
St. John's and UConn will play at Madison Square Garden next season despite Rick Pitino's desire to honor Lou Carnesecca on his 100th birthday at Carnesecca Arena. Pitino and the Johnnies may face Georgetown or Villanova on Carnesecca’s milestone birthday in Queens instead. Pitino's wish to play the game on campus was partly to tweak UConn coach Dan Hurley, and there may be some tension between the coaches. Tomorrow’s game at MSG is expected to be a sellout, and UConn's forward Alex Karaban may be a game-time decision due to a sprained ankle. St. John’s senior Joel Soriano is a finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar award, and the 1998-99 Elite Eight team will be honored at halftime of Saturday’s game.
Chefs like Calvin Eng are embracing MSG and trying to destigmatize the century-old seasoning, which has been misunderstood due to a letter written by a US doctor in 1968. Despite continued claims of negative reactions to MSG from diners, decades of scientific trials have failed to prove the existence of MSG sensitivity. MSG is plant-derived and is made by fermenting plants with sugar and microbes to create glutamate, an amino acid found in food that acts as a neurotransmitter. MSG is safe to eat and can reduce sodium intake.
