MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a naturally-occurring substance commonly found in various fermented foods, such as tomato paste, dried mushrooms, anchovies, aged hard cheeses (like Parmesan and Romano), soy sauce, miso paste, fish sauce, etc. It is the primary substance which produces that elusive "sixth taste" (besides salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy) often described as "savory" in English, but more accurately summarized in the Japanese word "umami". MSG is a source of sodium as well as simple carbohydrates (glutamate is a simple sugar, related to glucose, also known as blood sugar), so should be used in moderation in people suffering from either high blood pressure or diabetes.

The so-called "MSG effect" has not been verified by any scientific studies.
