Thank you for doing this video. I cut off Maggi and it's brothers, sisters and cousins a long time ago and I replaced it with pink Himalayan salt which contains over 80 minerals that's our body needs vs the high level of sodium from msg that retains water and hence inflammation. When my parents came to visit from Cameroon, I cooked for them for at least a month before telling them there was no Maggi in the food. My mom had to watch me to me sure lol. My dad's prostate psa went down (after 4 months of healthy choice foods and no msg) from 4000 to 300. They took a lot of pink Himalayan salt to Cameroon but when they ran out mom went back to Maggi but cut it off to half of her regular use. I wish she would cut it off completely. There are plenty of No-MSG seasoning but we have to do our own research. Most people that visit me don't know there is no Maggi in my food until after they eat and I tell them lol...and the chop di still sweeeeeet!!! Lol. That was a funny bit😂 Please do a video on pink Himalayan salt. The benefits are enormous. I have the energy of a gorilla most of the time and I want to put it in a bottle and sell it. Lol (well because I combine it with plant based whole and super foods). Thank you for your videos and yayy to 500 subscribers 💃💃👍🤩

It's been about 3months since I stopped using seasoning cubes. I never knew I could 'cook/live' without it. Sometimes my meals are bland 🙈🙈 but I am getting better. I know it is a healthy choice. Thanks for this video.

Great info, will make more effort. Knowledge is power

Wowwwwww thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing the knowledge

Thanks for your great information

Thanks for this Yaje!! Will definitely try eliminating Maggi and use the alternatives

Good info. Thanks coach. Gradually we will get there

Thanks for this information. You have explained the effects of Maggi cubes on our health very clearly. Had heard about this cubes not being healthy and took it off our meals for a while then gradually went back to it. After listening to you, I will make more effort to take it off. Once more thank you Yaje.

God bless you Ma for this useful information, it's an encouragement to me because I've stopped using Maggie long time ago. More wisdom

Great

I can’t believe this. The whole think is being trashed. Knowledge is definitely power. I grew up seeing my mother using this and I started doing the same. Horrible!!

Information is power. This is what I just got. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. I eliminated Maggie cubes from my meals since 2019 and my meals still taste great. The tongue learns/adapts real fast.

Thank you for letting us know. There is need to report to relevant authorities and have Maggie cubes off the shelves. I am disposing off what I have and now I will start to make my own at home. Please keep us posted on other products that are ailing us! Congrants!!

This is such a helpful video thank you for doing the research and for explaining the benefits of using natural herbs and spices versus the many msg substitutes. My family is half West Indian and has always made us read the ingredient to pick out what we should not be using m. I must admit as a first generation American, I bend the rules sometimes and use them 🤐🤐🤐

Thanks for sharing 😊

This video was worth watching , thanks 🙏🏾

Wow thank you hun 🤝🤝

I use it for the convenience, but will try to cut down on it. I use onions, garlic, carrots, and sundried tomatoes as a base if I want more flavor, there are other vegetables you can use as well. Lemon also adds a nice touch, as well as salt, herbs and other spices

I stopped eating Maggie cube but I miss it!!!!! 😭 What made me actually give it up is a comment I saw on the internet. “ does it mean that our hundreds of spices in the market don’t have enough flavor if there is no maggi ???”

I laughed when u said that chop di really sweet. You never disappoint sis. Thank you for always sharing.

Wow

This is so true.

Damn people in my house hold literally spam it but I’m gonna try and make us stop. Thanks for the info

Books can be written by a lot of people. And doctors are not infallible. I am half ways with you- I do think that the overuse of bouillon cubes is alarming in (West?) Africa. But it isn’t the msg. Look - msg is part of a lot of delicious things - tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese, fermented foods. And the msg in these natural food is chemically not at all different than in isolated form! There are a lot of studies which totally exonerate msg of any health adverse effects. However - it is basically giving us a path to unhealthy food. The other ingredients in stock cubes? Well some aromas (veggies, meat extract etc) but also salt and hydrolyzed fats (now we are coming closer to the real culprits) and often even sugar! And most unhealthy food has msg combined with these unhealthy ingredients - hence we are training ourselves and our families to eat unhealthy… I am really surprised to say that, but in case of the dominant Nigerian cuisine, I would rather suggest to use pure msg instead of stock cubes (if people cannot really not use just salt and natural spices). What I do: I blend salt, kombu (kelp algae) and dried shiitake mushrooms and sieve it through a fine strainer and use that. Kombu and mushrooms have a combination of glutamates and inosinates - a combination which makes the umami effect 8x stronger - but it is all natural and unprocessed!

i like this

Is jumbo chicken stock okay? I’ve stopped using maggi.

Thanks so much for the video yes i had been struggling with taking cubes seasonings from my kitchen for many years and i succeeded only about 3 months ago. In place of Maggi i now use powdered fis Here in Ghana, bonga fish is pounded and sold. Same for djanga (shrimps). Now the tree thinks i used to enhance taste in my kitchen are *powdered fish, * djanga, *and soy sauce i try to read the Thanks o'ce more coach. For soy sauce, i try to checl tje labels to check against MSG before choosing to buy

It’s so true 🤣😂

It's been years I stopped cooking with these cubes after knowing all these information, I use ginger/ garlic curry/thyme and salt, believe me I have not regretted it. Use enough ingredients like meats of your choice, onions, ginger and garlic etc your food will taste delicious 😋 👌.

I’m here watching and just remembering how sometimes my mom used to give us njamanjama with very little salt or maggie and we thought she was punishing us.

I have high blood pressure.... Once i ate macaroni with seasoning cube... My blood pressure shoots up suddenly same day evening... Avoid packed food as much as can

Without maggi my food doesn’t give me the special taste I need. With this video I’ll try to cut down my maggi intake

Chaiiii I feel like trashing my ajinomoto after watching this video 🙈🙈 but I also don't like to waste let me just finish it and don't buy again. Let me also buy more of maggi cravette now

(Jamaican) I don't cook with that stuff. Too salt. One cube got more salt than the dead sea.

Ok

I agree. The tongue can be trained. I stopped using Maggi for cooking in my house about three years ago. I use seasoned salt, crayfish and Adobo all purpose seasoning which I was happy to discover does not have MSG. But when I have to cook for people from my community, I use it for the food... sika I no want make person say my chop no sweet. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️Silly thing to do. I know. 😃😃

Same thing in Jamaica .... idk what this is about!

It’s happening in Jamaica. It is madness.

Thank you for sharing it..really useful information..I am going to stop it.I really feel that it is not good for my body.

I am getting off also. Thanks for this...

I will reduce my maggi to 1 a pot of food and gradually reduce it to zero

Full of MSG

Msgs give me headaches

Everything kills at this point

Maggie are not healthy attol
