It's bad if it makes you sick.

I avoid it because I have migraines. My DH and DD, BH, don't.

It is a food enhancer.
It is not a poison.
A few people are allergic to it just as with almost any other substance (including water).
It occurs naturally in foods like Parmesan cheese.
From the Mayo clinic

In short, if you react avoid it. If not don't worry about it.

It also occurs in the alga of miso soup.
It is, though, well known for giving migraines. But if you don't have them, or if it's not a trigger, why not?
