Is monosodium glutamate harmful?
Harmful!

Monosodium glutamate is commonly known as monosodium glutamate, and its scientific name is sodium glutamate. Because it contains glutamic acid, which is also one of the amino acids in human body, moderate consumption can help the metabolism of protein and sugar in the brain and improve the function of nervous system. It can also help children develop their intelligence and protect their liver. However, monosodium glutamate should not be used too much at a time, and should be based on1.5g per kilogram of food.

Monosodium glutamate is "royal bento" with preservatives 0/5 ~ 20 times higher than instant noodles/kloc-.

In the article "MSG is harmful to human health", Mr. Pachai Doweli, president of the Vegetarian Association in Bangkok and former head of the Department of Chemistry in Chulalongkorn University, pointed out that scientific research in Thailand and many countries found that MSG is a synthetic chemical with100%, which is harmful to human health.

Mr. Pichai pointed out that the chemical components in the production of monosodium glutamate include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and urea, unlike the natural agricultural products that are beneficial to human health, such as sweet potatoes, beet dregs and wheat flour, as advertised in some advertisements. Therefore, the more monosodium glutamate is consumed, the greater the harm to human health. Especially pregnant women, infants and patients with kidney disease, hypertension and heart disease, regular consumption of monosodium glutamate is more harmful.

Scientific research has found that long-term consumption of monosodium glutamate will reduce the normal human resistance, reduce the absorption of vitamins, and have a destructive effect on the central nervous system, bones, bone marrow and genetic system of the human body. In particular, after high-temperature treatment, such as frying, smoking or cooking for a long time, monosodium glutamate is more harmful to human body, and may even induce cancer.

Mr. Pichai suggested that in the future, monosodium glutamate producers should mark the specific components of monosodium glutamate in detail for consumers to choose. At present, in addition to ordinary monosodium glutamate, there are many foods containing monosodium glutamate on the market, such as chicken essence and some fried crispy foods, all of which contain monosodium glutamate to varying degrees. For these products, the specific ingredients should be marked in detail to reduce misleading to consumers.
