No. The main ingredient of MSG is monosodium glutamate, which can be broken down into glutamate in the digestive process, and the latter is catalyzed by an enzyme in the brain tissue, which can be converted into an inhibitory neurotransmitter. When too much MSG intake, this inhibitory neurotransmitter will make the human body in a variety of neurological functions in the inhibitory state, thus appearing dizziness, headache, drowsiness, muscle spasms and a series of symptoms; some people will also appear agitation, panic; some of the more sensitive people will even feel the bone soreness, muscle weakness. In addition, too much inhibitory neurotransmitters will also inhibit the body's hypothalamus secretion of thyrotropin-releasing hormone, hindering bone development, the impact on children is particularly significant. MSG eat more, often feel thirsty, this is because MSG contains sodium, excessive intake can lead to high blood pressure. 60 years of age or older is particularly sensitive to sodium intake, so the elderly and people suffering from high blood pressure, kidney disease, edema and other diseases, especially should eat less MSG. Chicken essence, on the other hand, is a compound seasoning, its basic composition is contained in 40% of the monosodium glutamate (MSG) based on the addition of freshness enhancers, salt, sugar, chicken powder, spices, chicken flavor flavor and other ingredients processed. MSG is a chemically synthesized substance that is not only nutritious, but also harmful to the body if eaten frequently. Chicken essence is different, is made of chicken as the main raw material, not only nutritious, but also safe. So, we can often see, some people frying vegetables on the MSG fear to avoid, but on the chicken essence but feel put how much, when to put can be. The difference between MSG and chicken essence: chicken essence and MSG is not very different. It is important to note that if MSG is used at high temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius, the flavor agent monosodium glutamate will be converted into monosodium pyroglutamate, which is carcinogenic to humans. Also, if used in an alkaline environment, MSG will react chemically to produce a substance called disodium glutamate. So use and store it properly. It is recommended that people who do not know much about it are safer to use chicken essence.
