No. Unlike those items that we should probably pay attention to, the MSG-scare is, generally speaking, a crock.
MSG's only shown to be potentially harmful to small children - hence why it was yanked outta baby foods 20 years ago.
In a condensed form, it's thought to be a mild neurotoxin... creating headaches, etc... but those results were never conclusively duplicated in a lab setting, insofar as I recollect.
Deforestation, ozone destruction due to CFC's, Global Warming, Impending Ice Ages (spurred on, in fact, by Global Warming), and Soil Erosion concerns all have a firm scientific and factual basis, and should be something that we all consider as we progress technologically, imho.
