I remember when the MSG scare came out in the 80's. I regularly ate at Chinese restaurants and loved the cuisine since I was a kid in the 70's. However, once a became an adult, I did notice one side effect - whenever I had Chinese food with alchohol, I would get bad headaches. So I stopped having beer with Chinese food and never had another headache when eating Chinese food.

[@theunbearables]

i find it funny is that it is actually a japanese discovery. I'm not sure if it only applies to chinese food or asian foods in general that msg == bad..

[@jongrho602]

@@theunbearables I spent 4 years of my childhood in Tokyo (68-72) and Ajinomoto was everywhere. My Mom kept a bottle in the kitchen as well. It wasn't until the 80's MSG scare that I found out that Ajinomoto = MSG. It wasn't just in Asian foods as lots of restaurants of various cuisines used it. It's just that the Chinese restaurants used it in every dish. In the late 80's my older sister took me to an authentic Chinese restaurant in Manhattan, which was staffed by chefs from mainland China, that I realized that American Chinese food is not real Chinese food. American Chinese is very heavy in oils which was very expensive in China - real Chinese food doesn't use as much - they invented the Wok which allows cooking using not just less fuel, but also less oil. This is also the time when oils and fats, and especially saturated fats, became public enemy nbr 1 for the health conscious. Personally I think its the heavy use of oils and fats, which generally aren't used that much in authentic Asian foods, that made a lot of Asian foods considered as unhealthy - the use of MSG was just one part of it but because of the MSG scare, the use of MSG was blamed for why Chinese food was unhealthy even though it was the use of all those saturated fats.

Some could be misled by original accidental process of making MSG. The boiling down method produces MSG in its form closer to its nature, no harsh chemicals used in producing it. It is my understanding that MSG can be produced at cheaper cost by fermentation, alkaline cookin,; the S part or Sodium may come from NaOH or sodium hydroxide which is a harsh chemical. This process can turn out MSG in a form so high in concentration. One teasoon of this can cause unpleasant symptoms to many. And one teaspoon of this possibly pure, MSG can be found in popular stir-fry dishes. MSG in its natural form sounds safe for daily diet. The chemically derived form sounds scary, don't you think?

The Japanese put MSG in all sorts of their food. Yet their life expectancy is one of the highest in the world.

[@user9jsi7jdu]

and alcohol. also don't forget Europeans with beer

[@DreamRealityMix]

MSG exists in almost anything. Meats, cheese, mushrooms. It is racism to the fullest. Its why Asian crusine is perceived lower than european counterpart but we know asian food has always been the better crusine because asian crusine understands flavor and texture especially umami, sweet. sour, bitter, spicy

[@satishneupane8262]

The reason for avoiding msg was the chinese restaurants bloomed whereas local restaurants were struggling due to use of msg in foods.

The government shutdown the internet,mobile data and sim connection.Even international calls aren’t working . There’s no network issue. The police in video said they have orders to open fire at anyone they sees after evening. And the internet was shut down at 9:40 pm(Bangladesh time) im in Australia cant contact my family,friends or anyone from there. Please save them.

MSG has only 2 chemical compounds, which are salt common on table our salts and glutamate, which our body has already had. Compared to other mix seasonings in the market, it is safer to consume.

[@truehappiness4U]

Problem is that too much MSG is not healthy at all. It’s like if you drink too much water: you’ll die. But too much MSG gives headaches, Migraines, heart palpitations etc.

[@abalcarse]

@truehappiness4U Everyone knows that anything and everything of too much is bad. So what's the point of doing it?

[@nalenilambourdiere9620]

It doesn't seem to cause any health issues among the Chinese

Well, I am very allergic to MSG it gives me severe heart palpitations where I have to lie down for 3 to 4 hours. It's extremely uncomfortable and unsettling.

[@akbarmohammed4eva]

MSG has been in Pringles, but the West unknowingly was addicted to it.

[@noclicheplease]

I do feel heart palpitations when I eat food served with MSG. But that is all the bad side effects I face, and it hasn't escalated beyond that. On the neutral side, when consumed for dinner, I stay awake during night, just like I do when I have coffee. It is basically like peanut allergy, people have different levels of sensitivity for it. But it would be great if restaurants mentioned that if their recipes contains MSG, so that people like me can avoid it for dinner, if necessary.

Saga Prefecture, Japan has the highest level of stomach cancer in the world. Saga University Hospital has found links with this and MSG. But also tests show that Japanese stomach linings offer little resistance being reduced to what is akin to a piece of leather. This is the result of very low fibre intake (roughage) that has reduced the furry protective lining of it.

MSG is health Hazzard.. it happened the 1st time and couldn't connect it to MSG. Happened again and this time it was an eye opener. Third time, I knew, my love of Chinese Bouffet was going to get me killed. It was for sure an MSG that had caused the worst symptoms which I literally thought I was going to die..LITERALLY..I couldn't feel anything, the worst part was throwing up to an extent of running out of energy completely. I literally needed an extra help to get my self back again.. NEVER again..

There is NO MIGRAINE WORSE THAN the ones that come from ingesting MSG. monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a form of glutamate, which is a neurotransmitter in the brain: Neurotransmitter Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter that stimulates nerve cells to send signals. It's also a non-essential amino acid that plays a role in many metabolic pathways and physiological functions in the body, including taste.
