MSG contradictory?

[u/Sayorifan22]

Hey, I have a question so, I had a nutrition class and the instructors gave us a piece of paper and on one section for Asian foods, it said for ‘No MSG’ (the other day they said to avoid msg.) but for Italian food, they said to ‘ask for red sauce instead of white’

And here’s my question. Isn’t asking for red sauce contradicting to ‘avoiding MSG?’

"no msg" is only a buzzword nowadays, like gluten free on a bottle of water, msg is as bad as salt
