There is sound science that suggests that the glutamic acid in MSG may act as a "slow neurotoxin," not resulting in observable damage such as dementia until years after the MSG was ingested.  The work of Dr. Peter Spencer is particularly relevant.

Consumers have reported being able to ingest an MSG-containing food on a given day without having an MSG-type reaction; but upon eating that same food two or three days in a row, a reaction will occur.
