Harm of chicken essence

From the health point of view, chicken essence has little harm to human body. When cooking, if you add too much chicken essence, it will lead to excessive intake of sodium glutamate in a short time, which will exceed the metabolic capacity of the body and lead to an increase in the content of glutamic acid in the blood.

Limit the use of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and copper. In particular, glutamic acid can combine with zinc in blood, and the unusable zinc glutamate is excreted, resulting in zinc deficiency in human body.

Not all dishes are suitable for adding chicken essence. When stews and ribs are delicious, adding chicken essence will make the food taste bad and affect the taste of the dishes. At this time, ordinary monosodium glutamate and other seasonings can be used instead.

Some people eat too much chicken essence a day, and when they rest at night, they will have symptoms such as dry throat and dreaminess, and even serious symptoms such as stuffy nose and headache. Such people should try to eat less or not.
