I think the biggest issue with vegemite is the yeast extract.  My understanding that it is extremely high in glutamates which is basically msg.  But probably check out the Sue Dengate or other websites for a more scientific reason (sorry don't have the time at the minute to look myself i have a small window to check web while my boys are strapped in a highchair eating!)

Yeast extract is often associated with MSG. I read up on the yeast extract yesterday and I don't think it is an issue in vegemite as it contains free glutamates (there are lot's of "vegemite and MSG" articles online).
