It probably interferes with the body's natural production of enzyme and protein production. There is no definite studies that proves that MSG is linked to health problems. Some studies suggested that MSG might cause probelm in human nervous system and eventually increase the risk of getting Alzeimer's desease and such. Basically, it could damage your nerve cells. Nothing is proven 100%. Nevertheless, it's good idea to reduce the consumotion of MSG.
Nowadays, there are ramen noodles that advertise they don't use MSG in their products. One brand I heard of is Green Ramen. Maybe you want to look into that if you like it so much.
