I think yes .too much of it is really bad.it damages u r bones.So many people told me that.

yes, it is also called MSG (monosodium glutamate).

A 1995 FDA-commissioned report acknowledged that "An unknown percentage of the population may react to monosodium glutamate and develop monosodium glutamate symptom complex, a condition characterized by one or more of the following symptoms:

*Burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest
*Numbness in the back of the neck, radiating to the arms and back
*Tingling, warmth and weakness in the face, temples, upper back, neck and arms
*Facial pressure or tightness
*Chest pain
*Headache
*Nausea
*Rapid heartbeat
*Bronchospasm (difficulty breathing)
*Drowsiness
*Weakness
*Sweating." This list of mostly very non-specific and common symptoms was compiled from anecdotal reports[6]
A 2002 report from researchers at Hirosaki University in Japan found rats fed on diets very high in glutamate (up to 20%) suffered eye damage. Lead researcher Hiroshi Ohguro said the findings might explain why, in eastern Asia, there is a high rate of normal-tension glaucoma
