Many people don't know that tomatoes, cheeses and other foods naturally have MSG. And:

> FDA considers the addition of MSG to foods to be “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). Although many people identify themselves as sensitive to MSG, in studies with such individuals given MSG or a placebo, scientists have not been able to consistently trigger reactions. [1]

Not really. It only "works" for subjective measurements. As an asthma patient how well they can breathe after taking medicine, and you can get a placebo effect. Measure the volume of airflow in and out of their lungs and you don't.
