Reliable studies from who? If you depend on the USDA or the FDA or any government agency to do the studies you will always find skewed numbers... because government agencies have a vested interest in the success or failure of certain products.
CRS was a general term made up by people who had no other way to label what was happening to them, so yeah, it is bull. I'm not saying it isn't. (Fats, salt, and shellfish don't cause these symptoms either, if you really understand the body.)
The type of MSG used in Asia is a natural kind made from certain plants or possibly animals. The kind we have here, aka Accent, or other manufactured brands, is NOT natural... it's a completely different molecule. Therefore, it acts differently in the body.
No, you're wrong. All MSG/glutamate is the same, it all acts the same way in the body. ALL "manufactured" MSG is made from natural sources, it's not chemically synthesized in a lab or something. The body cannot differentiate between a sprinkle of Accent or the natural glutamate in a tomato because there IS no difference!
Well I don't have the scientific documentation ON ME at the moment... but I would think it would be a safe bet to say that the molecular construction of a Mono-Sodium-Glutamate molecule, and the molecular construction of a naturally-produced glutamate molecule found in nature MIGHT be completely different.
Plenty, and everything I've ever read said MSG is indistinguishable and is metabolized exactly the same as a natural glutamic acid. I've NEVER read anything to the contrary.
Do you use MSG in your cooking?

Wouldn't you agree?

As far as I know, to the body they're indistinguishable and they are metabolized EXACTLY the same.

"As far as you know"... Alrighty then, WTF DO you know? I've done a little bit of research on the subject, what have YOU done?
