Anyone from uncle roger?

MSG actually stands for Makes Stuff Good.

If ur sad put msg on it - uncle Roger

That beaker in the background is definitely a bong.

I can almost always detect MSG right away. There's no specific flavor, it really just enhances whatever it's added to. It always makes you want more.

I bought a one pound bag of MSG on a trip to Holland. Best decision of my entire life.

I was chewing on some cheetos while watching this so I decided to check the ingredients just because I was curious I didn't see "MSG" so I took some closer look and saw "monosodium glutamate" in the ingredients so it looks like I am eating msg right now

I've started steaming my vegetables with msg . Just a couple pinches and it enhances the flavours so much! long term pro/con: adding a little msg and eating more vegetables wins

I have been using MSG since I read about it in college (I was a culinary arts major). It is kind of like sriracha- it makes everything taste better. No adverse effects so far.

MSG is a part of our daily household as early as I can remember. My grandparents died in their 90s.

I think the fact that breast milk is loaded with it pretty much says it all.

Always good to be skeptical with all information. But if what ur saying is true, then this "No MSG" trend may be the same thing as the "Gluten Free" trend, with it only affecting rare Gluten sensitive people. The Nocebo effect is real, smh

Metal Solid Gear?!?

Did you just say that I'm a controversial topic?

Here in Peru we use MSG in a lot of local recipes. Most notably in cebiche. It's used to cut the acid of our lemon, which is actually a very sour lime. Otherwise, sliced fish just keeps "cooking" in the lime juice. In fact, Peru is place for one of the oldest Ajinomoto factories outside Japan, and they are planning on building a second one.

THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!!! I always felt so bad for eating stuff that contains MSG because I thought it would harm me (I really thought it caused cancer) and now I know that's a hoax. Thanks!

I would like to thank you for the source links and putting them in the video and description. I hope more youtube channels follow your example.

MSG weejio exist* Uncle roger and his niecce and nephew : *so you the one who summoned us*

People- msg is bad Me- what u had for lunch? People- McDonalds Me- yes healthy

Wow, I didn't know any of this and just thought msg was 'bad'. Interesting video

I was skeptical about a claim made, then wondered why there was a number in the bottom left. I'm impressed by this level of source citation. So much better than other quick science channels.

This bloke must direct traffic for his second job. Loves to use hand signals

That was the most informative video about glutamate I have seen. Congratulations for condensing so much information in so short a time.

the fact this is added right as im thinking about getting some mall food i havent had in a while lol

My bong receptors were tingling due to images in your background

No wonder Chinese fried rice is so good. I'm always craving it lol

Food wars (shoukugeki no soma)fans know this stuff

Thanks for the video, it is help me a lot for my presentation and u guys are so straight forward, some people said " short and sweet" Good job bro, keep it up

Says "C2H10NNaO5" Then shows diagram with 5 carbon atoms and 4 oxygen atoms. lol MSG is C5H8NNaO4... might want to fact check your fact checker

I now am determined to try this in some grilled veggies and rice which is already one of my favorite make at home meals.

by the way, thank you for turning the gain of the recording up. much easier to hear now

Excellent presentation with good historical reference. Well researched and balanced summary on pros and cons of a complex debate on an important health matter.

The health food movement spouting nonsense?! Who could have seen that coming?!

The real question that everyone here wants to know is "Is it safe to eat 3-6 packs of Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup every day? That stuff is cheap and delicious, but the MSG in the flavoring and preservatives in the noodles make us doubt whether or not eating this a lot is a good idea.

I really love MSG. It really makes cooking a breeze. 😍 However, my grandma, I think, has MSG sensitivity, because it makes her sleepy. That's why she avoids it.

MSG= ASIAN CRACC

Fantastic unbiased, unsponsored advice Everybody should watch and listen to. Thanks Greg!

I've been reading and watching several *reputable* sources of information on MSG (say, the BBC, Royal Institute, well-known science communication channels…) and I've yet to find a single one condemning or casting any doubts on the substance. Therefore, I'll keep adding an appropriate amount to my healthy dishes and enjoy its taste. Thank you.

all have size and dose. salt, sugar too much is also dangerous. when I cook I always add 1/4 tsp of MSG to 500ml soup equivalent to 1kg of food at beginning of cooking for breaking down protein because heat. And it's dangerous to eat raw like potato snacks, Chiki.

No I had headache after eating from a All you can eat Chinese buffet, in London. I had no clue why I got the headache, I thought I had covid. It's only later I realised it was the Chinese food, after reading about it. I suppose I may have consumed a large amount of MSG given that it was a all you can eat buffet, and trust me guys, the headache and a bit of sweating as well was solely due to the food, it wasn't psychological or anything. It was this place called MW buffet in China town, London.

when he said chips with ketchup i gagged. then i realized he meant fries.

The problem in Sri Lanka , The restaurant owners put 5-10 Grams in a one meal.

I avoided buying things with hydrolysed protein in it because I didn't know what it was. If they labelled it as MSG I would have actually been OK with it as I'm well aware of MSG. Now I know not to be so wary of hydrolysed protein.

I found out when I was younger that I’m sensitive to MSG, I didn’t even know but every time there is a considerable amount more than my body would produce a day I would get really high temperatures and a terrible skin rash, I was tested with different things and that was the only thing that did it :/ so you can be sensitive to it because I never know when I’m eating it until a rash randomly appears or I get instantly hot,

I agree with this simple explanation for MSGs' much hyped side effects. It has become a traditional food additive for more than a 100 years. Like all foods if taken in moderation it's a harmless substance. Not like Alcohol, which is more toxic to the digestive system and our vital organs and losing your mental stereo system.

I have never thought I’ve been eating msg until I heard the words Ajinomoto and then noticed I eat it every freakin day

his body language reminds me of Gordon Ramsay. The accent, the small hops to deliver information, and this 2:42 the signature "look down and think"

3:11 This editor is the MVP here

So at the end of the day, he’s saying MSG is not that bad at all. 🤷🏾‍♀️

MSG is e621 ;)

Thanks for the video.

Thanks so much for the insight, I've been wondering about this for many many days. My wife divorced me because my food had MSG in it BUT LOL to her because now we know that your body produces it naturally.. Thank you!! (Subscribed)

Does it make you thirsty after eating food with MSG?

so that's why non-msg ramen taste a little duller than my MSG ramen?

I love the way things taste with MSG but it gives me a bad headache, always has, I immediately know if I am eating something with it because 1)it tastes extra good and 2)I start getting a headache within ten minutes even just a few bites, also seems like this is the thing that makes it so that you are feeling hungry again shortly after eating.

I get sleepy after eating at a certain Thai restaurant. Not all the time, but after ordering a stir fried dish. It happened several times and I finally made a connection. I’m from Japan, a county where even MSG in mayonnaise. In US, MSG is more frowned upon than in Japan. I look at labels before buying and avoid additives including MSG.

This is why uncle Roger loves msg.

Once I notice someone's hand movements it's the only thing I can pay attention to.

I am from the middle east, I didn't know of MSG. But I remember 8 years ago my dad telling us "from now on we won't buy ajinomoto". I didn't know that it was MSG. 👀

I'm glad this video was made. Thanks.

I'm a personal Chef and back in college I actually did a research paper on the Sigma 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! 😛❤🔥💋

"hiyaaa hello neice and nephew"

Not sure about UK, but Vietnamese Pho in North America are loaded with MSG... The main symptom is thirst, a pretty bad thirst starts to develop after half an hour to an hour.

As usual, a great video Greg, but please do some research about the correct pronunciation of Japanese. Kikunae= ki (as in kiss). The rest was close. IKEdae-ke as in KEttle. Single vowels in English transliterations are always (roughly) a=ah, i=ee, u=ooh, e=eh and o=oh, although they're a bit shorter in duration in Japanese. Anyway, I love your videos, and they were the main reason I subscribed to this channel. Keep up the good work!

You jumped from science to nonscience, by saying MSG is in tomatoes, cheese, etc. or that the body produces it. Rather these are glutamic acid and as you illustrated, that's not the same as the highly refined sodium salt of MSG. The body metabolizes them very differently. Also, sensitivity to MSG is not rare as folks that have common neurological problems (seizures, migraines, etc.) are the most commonly affected. Last but not least, research since this video was published has shown that MSG quadruples blood sugar levels and can lead to insulin resistance and related diseases, like diabetes.

damm...I add ajenamoto when I cook meat

That sums up my curiousity. Thank you

Mono means 1 , sodium means salt , glutamate ≈ sugar . So one sodium molecule, and glutamate is the sweet part

metal solid gear

It's Kikunae Ikeda (kih-koo-nah-eh ih-keh-da), not Kaikunai Ekeeda

Thanks for explaining

Where can I find links to studies on it?

Too Much of one thing is always bad.

4:05 So brains taste good?

MSG GIVES ME MIGRAINE HEADACHES.

Msg, is widely used in Asia . It has many health benefits , it increases your metabolism and immune system.

Maybe I have the sensitivity... if I eat MSG at all, I get optical migraines. Took a long time to figure out what was causing them, slow process of elimination.

This is the first I've heard of MSG

alright this almost changed my mind about aji no moto..thanks

.. Thank you I learned so much

The only issue I've experienced is that if I've eaten at a chinese restaurant which uses quite a bit of MSG, I feel incredibly thirsty thereafter. But it could be just me!

HAIYAA

Accent is found in supermarkets in Canada and America. It is MSG. It tastes sort of sweet and sort of salty at the same time.

What is that atom symbol with a number that appears at some times on the video?

I used to avoid using MSG when I cook for other people. But in some cases, you are better off using MSG instead of over salting or over sweetening your food. If I use MSG, I'd use it like salt, a bit is no problem, too much is bad as well.

I found this pretty interesting. My mother has a hole in her brain and she goes into violent seizures if she eats this with msg. So any overly possessed foods, alcohol, aged cheese, cured meats, and even anything that has a soy additive is off the table. Most things that say "artificial flavoring or natural flavoring " are made with soy lethesin. She is on medications for the seizures but it's not a cure. When she eats the wrong foods, she has trouble forming coherent sentences, as well as significant short term memory issues. Let's just say that we do a lot of home cooking from scratch. But the fact that msg affects neurotransmitters makes a lot of sense now. She's missing part of her brain already, so the msg is trying to affect a portion of her brain that isn't even there (?) which sends the rest of her brain into overdrive trying to compensate for the missing tissue. ( that last sentence is a total guess. It makes sense in my head though).

Do monosodium glutamate and disodium inosinate, or eitherr of those additives, affect the clarity of medical xray images? Anything which lessens exposure to ionizing radiation while enabling a sharp image would be a good thing.

I always end with a slight headache after eating chinese food, and a slight feeling of uneasiness (like if you know -or think- you will get sick with nausea, but it never really reaches that point), but normally after just 15 minutes and a glass or two of water it goes away and I am back at 100% But thinking about it, it could be the MSG, but there is also the Oyster sauce they love to add to many plates, so I think it might be the later, as I never eat oysters or oyster sauce other than in Chinese food.

Msg makes my heart race so fast and makes me feel weak

Msg makes my stomach feel super heavy lol

Nice video Gregayyyyyyy! :)

I can only tell if MSG was in something I ate by the vomiting afterwards. I would never actually ingest it for that reason, but sometimes it sneaks in by the back door. I'd never heard of MSG for the first 20+;years I suffered from Migraine. After I avoided it (following a doctor controlled elimination diet), I had no more migraine. I realise that the elimination diet is not placebo controlled, since the foods being tested each day are known. But prior to that, my migraines occurred when I was unaware of MSG being in the food I ate. I don't react to foods known to contain MSG, (although I do avoid inflammatory foods, due to the effect on arthritis, but I can only assume the difference is the actual amount involved in "additives", or possibly items used in the production process, which are never listed.

Monosodium glutamate, fatty flavour by a japanese chemist. People thought it was dangerous, probably not. Cut the flair, be concise, life is short

MSG is Michael Schenker Group!!!

So I was looking for what msg was... I got more than what I expected :)

MSG has become an all too common crutch. I prefer for recipes to obtain flavor the old fashioned way with better ingredients.

I added MSG to my keto diet and it was the only way I could complete the diet.

The Chinese by my work uses massive amounts of MSG in their meals, so much so that the last time I ate from there I had a massive headache for hours afterwards, put me right off Chinese food.

My throat and face swells up even when I don't know I'm eating msg.
