According to the American Chemical Society (ACS), MSG has suffered from inaccurate consumer perceptions for too long — so the non-profit organization has decided to put the consumer myths about MSG to rest.
In this video ACS corrects the myths about MSG and explains “the scientific consensus is that this flavor enhancer, known for its savory umami flavor, is perfectly safe for the vast majority of people.”
The American Chemical Society is a non-profit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. With more than 161,000 members, ACS is the world’s largest scientific society and a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.
