How come the west still try and push that MSG is super dangerous and it will make you sick, give you cancer etc?

It’s a narrative pushed by racist white people. Just like any problem in the world, it’s usually caused by whites

Tell a lie enough and it becomes the truth
It's one of those things that have been repeated so much that people accept it as a fact uncritically. People in the current year who think they react to MSG probably just felt bad after eating chinese food that was drenched in sauce with way too much salt and sugar, and don't react at all when they have mcdonalds or doritos

It's a "flavor enhancer", it amplifies the savory/umami flavors that are present in food. Same way you add salt to enhance flavor, MSG does the same thing for a different taste

MSG is Mono Sodium Glutamate; the sodium salt of glutamic acid. Table salt is the sodium salt of chlorine.
Glutamic Acid is a non-essential amino acid which is responsible for strong savory flavors. Non-essential means your body naturally produces it, so it's not required in your diet.
It occurs naturally in savory ingredients like tomato, parmesan cheese and soy sauce, and in smaller quantities in things like chicken.

As a flavor, it was discovered by some japanese guy 100 years ago. Was originally extracted from seaweed, these days on an industrial scale it's extracted from things like sugar cane. It's produced as a salt because crystals that are stable at room temperature are convenient to use. It's chemically indistinguishable from glutamates that occur naturally in food.

It got a bad reputation because of an anecdote in a scientific journal that attributed headaches after eating chinese food to MSG. To this day people still claim they react to it but in a vast majority of cases it's likely just a placebo. Research has never proven that there are actual health risks for the general population, when analysing MSG consumption at a normal rate (as opposed to an overdose so large it would never happen in real life or literal injections)

4chan is not a website for "weebs", as in the actual definition which used to be called a Japanophile. Moot has repeatedly expressed his dislike for such people. However it is a website made entirely for people who enjoy Japanese culture/products/media, and every single board is made for those people as well - just for their not strictly-Japan related interests. Retarded children who joined for the memes (2006-2007) ribbitors (2010-2012) and election tourists (2016-2017) unfortunately don't understand this.

Have it in a salt shaker, do a light sprinkle
I add it to things like stir fry, fried rice, or noodle broth (not packet ramen, those flavour sachets already have it). I prefer to go light on sauces instead of drenching it, so adding MSG adds more depth of flavour without making the meal too heavy
Sometimes I put a little on homemade burgers or tomato sauce pasta dishes, but that’s less necessary, more just if I really feel like it
