I have been eating a lot of asian food lately and saw some signs that say “no msg”. Why is it so bad for you and what is it used for? To make the food taste better or to keep it fresh longer?

Monosodium glutamate. Mainly salt. ANything tastes better with salt, but MSG is also loaded with other chemicals. Not all of them are good for you. But if not for MSG most asian food would be tasteless.
