The dangers of eating too much delicious food

Contains MSG which is harmful! MSG 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 required by the human body, moderate consumption can help the metabolism of proteins and sugars in the brain and improve the function of the nervous system; it can also help the intellectual development of young children and protect the liver. However, MSG should not be used too much at one time. It should be no more than 1.5 grams per kilogram of food. MSG is the preservative in "Obento" that is 15 to 20 times higher than that in instant noodles. Mr. Phichai Dovili, president of the Bangkok Vegetarian Association and former head of the Chemistry Department of Chulalongkorn University, pointed out in the article "MSG is Harmful and Unhelpful to Human Health" that scientific research in Thailand and many countries found that MSG is 100% Synthetic chemical preparations are harmful to the human body. Mr. Pichai pointed out that the chemical ingredients used in the production of MSG include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, urea, etc. It is not like the use of sweet potatoes, beet pulp, wheat flour and other natural agricultural products that are beneficial to the human body as raw materials as advertised in some advertisements. Therefore, the consumption of MSG is more The more, the greater the harm to human health. Especially pregnant women, infants, and patients with kidney disease, hypertension, and heart disease, regular consumption of MSG is more harmful. Scientific research has found that long-term consumption of MSG will reduce normal human resistance, reduce the body's absorption of vitamins, and have damaging effects on the central nervous system, bones, bone marrow, and genetic systems of the human body. In particular, MSG that has been processed at high temperatures, such as fried, smoked or steamed for a long time, is more harmful to the human body and may even induce cancer. Mr. Pichai suggested that in the future, MSG manufacturers should clearly indicate the specific ingredients of the MSG they produce to facilitate consumers' choice. At present, in addition to ordinary MSG, there are many foods containing MSG on the market, such as chicken essence and other condiments as well as some fried and crispy foods, all of which contain MSG to varying degrees. For these products, their specific ingredients should be labeled in detail to reduce misleading to consumers.
