I doubt that MSG is really a direct cause of obesity. One type of food that is famous for containing MSG is Chinese food. I lived in China for a year and a half, and MSG is put in almost everything to add flavor. And it is EXTREMELY RARE to see an obese adult in China (thinking back, I can't remember seeing even ONE obese adult over there). Considering that MSG is basically a staple seasoning in China, and obesity is not a problem among the adult population there, I find it hard to believe that MSG is directly linked to obesity.
