If by "toxic" you mean that eating peanuts can cause death, then the answer is emphatically yes. Check this:

Or just Google "Fatalities due to Peanuts".

No evidence of MSG fatalities unless consumed in exceedingly large doses. But, if a person is subject to migraine and MSG is a trigger, an MSG migraine can make you wish for death.


Thanks, I knew all of that.

I asked my question tongue in cheek...... similar, perhaps, to the sense of the original question.

My point is that sometimes we overdo a concern or become over concerned about a narrow point.

Peanuts Toxic, heck yes. MSG toxic, getting close to far fetched. MSG or milk causes digestive problems? Yes. Milk Toxic? :-)
