"Yes, this is actually true. I studied human nutrition and food science. MSG is used as a major flavor enhancer in the food science world, to say the least, it keeps us hooked and wanting more, as ordinary food can be very bland in comparison. MSG actually occurs naturally in some foods but in much lower quantities in things like broth (I can't tolerate beef bone broth I'm so sensitive). It stimulates the 'umami' or savory tastebuds, and since we aren't used to getting such high doses of it I would say that it probably stimulates cravings for this as well. I wonder what neurotransmitters it releases, that particular taste is known to be soothing and satiating. When I ingest it it's like I ate actual poison and it takes my body and nervous system weeks to recover. My GI system goes crazy, I get migraines, anxiety, waves galore.  "
