MSG is demonized, is it really harmful to the human body?

Since its birth, MSG has become an indispensable condiment in many households. When paired with salt, it can make dishes extremely delicious and touch people's taste buds. The topic of whether MSG is harmful has always been a focus of debate. Do people always tell you that MSG is harmful to the human body? The West once used the term "Chinese restaurant syndrome" to describe the adverse effects of foods containing MSG. It was only recently with the widespread dissemination of science that the answer was finally settled. As early as 1999, my country completed a long-term toxicology experiment on MSG and concluded The conclusion is that MSG is safe, and the World Health Organization has also stated that MSG is completely safe. In fact, MSG is not only harmless to the human body, but is also beneficial to the human body when consumed appropriately.

MSG. A word that was often demonized in the past few years, just like the post-90s generation. Of course, it has gotten better in the past few years and is no longer so severe. Mainly because there are too many fake things. People are too busy exposing new fake buns, fake wine, fake soy sauce and so on, and have no time to deal with MSG. In other words, no matter how bad MSG is, it is still real, so its news value is not as good as fake ingredients.

Let’s first talk about what MSG is. We keep mentioning umami and stuff, and glutamate and stuff. In fact, MSG is a combination of glutamic acid and salt. To put it more academically, it is to extract glutamic acid from the protein and then include salt ions, which becomes MSG.

So we can mention the English description of umami, which is the word Umami, which is translated as bitter and salty. So we can further speculate that they may have misunderstood and used umami as the word umami. Confused with MSG.

MSG was invented by the Japanese, and they were very happy when they invented it. They never imagined that it would be questioned by many parties a hundred years later. And in the years when MSG was first invented, it was indeed recognized by the world as a good thing. Even Americans put this stuff in children's food to make it fresher. I never imagined that something would happen in the future.

The first problem with MSG was discovered in 1968. It can be said that the problem was discovered after the new generation of MSG was invented. It just so happens that when the older generation is fine, it is fine when it comes to the new generation.

Many studies have since been conducted, but the results cannot prove that MSG is harmful to humans, because reactions such as pain in the back of the neck and thirst are too subjective to prove that MSG and hunger and thirst are There is direct contact.

Later, experiments were also conducted on white mice, but only a large amount of MSG could cause the mice to become slightly mentally disturbed. Note: Lots of MSG and a bit of confusion. But no one cooks with a lot of MSG. I’ve heard of miso soup, but not MSG soup.
