Can you eat more MSG and why can t you eat more MSG?

Adding an appropriate amount of monosodium glutamate can make the taste of the dish more refreshing. However, eating too much MSG is not less harmful. Eating too much MSG has eight major harms:

First, studies have shown that long-term excessive consumption of MSG can lead to thinning of the retina, severe vision loss, and even blindness.

2. The investigation found that the main component of monosodium glutamate is monosodium glutamate, which can decompose glutamate in the process of digestion, which is catalyzed by enzymes in brain tissue and will be transformed into an inhibitory neurotransmitter. When MSG is eaten in excess, this inhibitory neurotransmitter will inhibit various nerve functions in the human body, causing people to experience dizziness, headache, drowsiness, muscle spasms and other symptoms.

Third, it will make people anxious, irritable, and flustered; Some people with a more sensitive constitution also feel sore bones and weak muscles.

Fourth, too much inhibitory neurotransmitter can also inhibit the secretion of thyroid-releasing hormone by the body's hypothalamus, hindering bone development, and studies have proved that the impact on children is particularly significant.

Fifth, generally speaking, if you eat too much monosodium glutamate, most of you will feel thirsty, which is due to the sodium contained in monosodium glutamate, and excessive sodium intake can lead to high blood pressure.

Sixth, people over the age of 60 are particularly sensitive to sodium intake, so the elderly and people with kidney disease, high blood pressure, edema and other diseases should especially eat less MSG.

Seventh, if the consumption of monosodium glutamate is too much, exceeding the body's metabolic capacity, it is very likely to lead to an increase in the content of glutamate in the blood and inhibit the body's utilization of essential minerals such as calcium, copper, magnesium, etc.

Eighth, special attention should be paid to infants and lactating mothers to fast or eat less MSG. The glutamate in monosodium glutamate will combine with zinc in the blood to produce zinc glutamate that cannot be used and be excreted from the body, resulting in zinc deficiency in the body. Studies have shown that zinc is an important nutrient for the physical and mental development of infants and young children.

Monosodium glutamate, also known as monosodium glutamate, is a colorless or white crystalline or crystalline powder, with a special umami taste, is a commonly used condiment in cooking, too much is eaten, harmful and beneficial.

Because a large intake of monosodium glutamate will increase the level of glutamate in the blood, thereby limiting the utilization of calcium and magnesium ions needed by the human body, it will cause temporary headaches, heartbeat nausea and other physical discomforts. MSG can also cause cancer and also have adverse effects on the human reproductive system. Therefore, MSG should not be consumed excessively.

There is also monosodium glutamate that generally cannot be heated at high temperature for a long time, and sodium pyroglutamate will be generated. Generally do not exceed 5g per day

You can eat it, but you can't eat too much. [But the general chef does not add MSG to the cooking.]

It's not good, it's unhygienic, it's better not to eat it.
