Pickled slogan

Because someone once felt uncomfortable after eating in a restaurant in China, he suspected that it was because monosodium glutamate was added to the food in China. Many people say they have a similar situation. So it caused the American people to panic about monosodium glutamate. However, both the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration list MSG as safe food. We won't kill MSG with a stick, but at least there is no evidence that MSG will do much harm to human body. The structure of glutamic acid in monosodium glutamate is the same as that of natural glutamic acid.

Natural glutamic acid is easily decomposed when exposed to air. Professor Ikeda Jiguo combined glutamic acid and sodium ions into sodium glutamate, which is not easy to deteriorate and can preserve monosodium glutamate for a long time. After World War II, monosodium glutamate has become a widely used additive in the world food industry, and it has been included in industrial foods for daily consumption, including North America. In order to enhance the flavor, canned food, pickles and snacks bought by Americans and Canadians contain a lot of monosodium glutamate.

It is human nature to be skeptical about what we don't know, but in fact, the raw material for making monosodium glutamate is wheat. Glutamate is decomposed by sodium glutamate in the body, which is one of the raw materials of protein. Just as salt is chemically called sodium chloride, things named after chemical elements are not necessarily synthetic and not so terrible. Here, we will discuss the main differences between toxic dose and non-toxic dose.

Whether a substance is toxic to living things can never be separated from "dose". After a period of time, the negative news of monosodium glutamate spread all over the world, such as memory loss, hair loss and stunting. "Birds of a feather flock together, birds of a feather flock together." Many restaurants in the United States posted the slogan "We don't use monosodium glutamate", hoping to draw a clear line with monosodium glutamate. However, both the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration list MSG as safe food.
