Dig into the seasoning known as MSG, and find out how this flavoring was developed and if it’s actually bad for your health.
--
In 1968, Dr. Robert Ho Man Kwok felt ill after dinner at a Chinese restaurant and wrote a letter to a medical journal connecting his symptoms to MSG. His letter would change the world’s relationship with MSG, inspiring international panic, biased science, and sensationalist journalism for the next 40 years. So what is this seasoning, and is it actually bad for you? Sarah E. Tracy investigates.

My dad has this unwavering hate for monosodium glutamate (MSG). I've shown him countless, COUNTLESS, peer reviewed articles on the issue. The only negative I could find is that - as mentioned - directly injecting MSG into mice caused damage to various systems. I had to explain to him that, if anything, this showed that we are able to healthily digest MSG. Years later, he still tells me, after reading the ingredients for some crackers I'm enjoying, contain MSG. I can't win Then again, this is the same guy who thinks wifi signals give him headaches. I don't have the heart to tell him that he is in a wifi signal 80% of the time

As a Vietnamese, I confirm MSG is a staple, but we only add like a teaspoon in a large pan/pot of broth then divide into serving portions, not like a whole jar. It enhances flavor but consuming too much at once indeed causes headache and jawlock. Anyhow, almost everything is good if we consume it in moderation.

I'm a personal Chef and back in college I actually did a research paper on the Stigma of MSG which turns out to be ALL about RACISM! Back in the late '60s and early '70s, NYC Asian restaurants were starting to get more and more popular and sales started getting hirer and hirer. Some or I should say Most of course didn't like it. So secretly Non-Asian restaurant owners took Asian food to laboratories to find out what was in it. It was discovered that a form of salt MSG Monosodium L Glutamate enhanced the flavor of salt and made the food taste more savory. So we know what happens next?? Those Non-Asian restaurants started screaming MSG is bad for you just to make real Asian restaurants suffer. Unfortunately, the bad word of mouth, and also public bashing made sales drop, and made people scared to consume MSG. So Asian restaurants were forced to remove it from their cooking. That's why when you go to some Asian restaurants on the menu in bold lettering NO MSG. This is a shame because now after many years of research they have determined MSG is not harmful, or life-threatening. The scare campaign was actually a HATE campaign! There are many products out on the market that most consumers eat that have always contained MSG but they didn't mention those because they were trying to put Asian restaurants out of business. Today you can find MSG at/in KFC, Chick-fil-A, Campbell's soups, Doritos, Pringles, and a whole lot more!!! I use it in 90% of my cooking especially baking when salt is one of the ingredients. I get RAVE reviews for my Cinnamon Rolls!! Oh, by the way, I got an "A" on my research paper and my professor was originally from Vietnam! 😛❤🔥💋

I woke up in the night with horrific stomach cramps that were so painful I was in tears. I got severe cramping over my chest. This continued on and off all night so I had to go to the doctor. It was my only symptom of severe stomach and chest cramps.. My partner was worried I was having a heart attack. Doc asked me if I recently ate Chinese food and that was the reason. He said they must have accidentally spilt too much MSG into that dish for such a severe reaction. I recovered later that day.

My personal experience with MSG results in Migraine! No racism here, I love Chinese food and was constantly getting headache when had at restaurant who use MSG to hide their bad quality food. I became concious about the MSG impact on my migraine after constantly observing what I did to get this bad headache. From then on I eat in goo Chinese restaurant where I know MSG is not used. I eat Chinese at workplace as I know there's no usage of MSG! It depends on people body composition probably. So some might not be experiencing issues with MSG, while some might. Observe your body reaction to MSG and then decide if you wish to continue. As of long term impact, nobody really knows. I've stopped MSG, so I don't care!

I can't handle much salt at all, so same goes with MSG.

General table salt is sodium chloride but, depending on the quality of salt, it usually contains many other trace minerals. Aside from sodium chloride, there are other types of salts, such as potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, and calcium chloride, which are all also known as either salts or electrolytes and are found in most sports drinks. In my comment, I mentioned salt and sodium separately because, to my awareness, the perception towards both salt (as an additive to our diet) and sodium (the standards set for healthy levels in the body) have been distorted by misleading and manipulative information.

Back in around 2000 - 2003 or so, I had problems when I would consume large amounts of free glutamic acid, either through monosodium glutamate, autolyzed yeast extracts, or hydrolyzed proteins in foods. I have Crohn's Disease and as a result, my levels of vitamins and minerals can often be lower than that of a normal person due to inflammation throughout the intestines. I would basically ask people to please not cook for me, because it was simply too complicated to realistically expect them to avoid the ingredients that were high in free glutamic acid, which would result in me having several hours of dizziness, headache, feelings of dissociation, and extreme thirst. People would still insist on it, saying that they would be thoroughly diligent, but far too many times I was ill and out of commission for hours after a meal only to look at the sauces and flavourings they used to see that one of the offending ingredients was in it. As it turns out, Vitamin B6 is involved in the breakdown of free glutamic acid, and I had a general deficiency of B vitamins along with many others. Since this has been corrected via supplementation, I now no longer have any issues eating MSG or free glutamic acid and consume them regularly since my diet is predominantly east and southeast Asian food. I suggest if you think you have a problem with MSG, take a small supplement of Vitamin B6 and see how this affects you.

That's a bit of a high dose according to the FDA, so you might want to do a bit of research and experimentation on your own, even though B vitamins are generally safe to take in higher amounts since they're water soluble.
