The amount of MSG per dish exceeds 0.5 mg

Monosodium glutamate is a well-known seasoning product. When you cook, you can use MSG to enhance the taste of the dishes. Therefore, during the cooking process, MSG will add a little bit more MSG and make the soup delicious. However, if MSG is consumed excessively, it will We have great harm to our human body. What kind of harm will it cause to our body? Let's take a look.

Japanese researchers believe that long-term consumption of MSG may lead to thinning of the retina, decreased vision, and even blindness.

What are the hazards of MSG?

First, the main component of monosodium glutamate is sodium glutamate, which can decompose glutamate during digestion. The latter is enzymatically catalyzed in brain tissue and can be converted into an inhibitory neurotransmitter. If it is consumed excessively, it will Interfere with the natural laws of the nervous system. Therefore, some people with more physical constitution will suffer from vertigo, headache, drowsiness, muscle cramps, and even a series of symptoms such as shock after eating excessive amounts of MSG. Some people may also experience irritability and confusion.

Second, excessive intake of MSG, excessive inhibitory neurotransmitters also inhibit the body's hypothalamus secretion of thyrotropin-releasing hormone, impeding bone development, especially for children. In animal experiments, young mice and chickens suffered the most severe damage from MSG and damaged the nerves of the brain and optic nerve.

Third, when MSG is consumed too much and exceeds the body's metabolic capacity, it will also lead to increased glutamate levels in the blood, limiting the body's use of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and copper. In particular, glutamic acid can be combined with zinc in the blood, and zinc glutamate, which cannot be utilized, is excreted and causes zinc deficiency in humans. Zinc is an important nutrient for physical and mental development in infants and young children. Therefore, babies and infants and breastfeeding mothers should fast or eat less MSG.

Fourth, when MSG eats too much, it often feels thirsty. This is because monosodium glutamate contains sodium. Because MSG is not salty, it is easy to eat too much and it is not noticeable. People over the age of 60 are particularly sensitive to sodium intake, so elderly people and people with high blood pressure, kidney disease, edema, etc. should especially eat less MSG.

So, how many MSG we should consume will not cause harm to the body?

How much monosodium glutamate is appropriate for each meal? In Western countries, only certain processed foods are mixed, and ordinary people are not allowed to eat them. They are prohibited in baby foods because scientific research has found that monosodium glutamate has particularly harmed the development of young children's brains and optic nerves. The researchers suggest that each dish should not exceed 0.5 mg. The severity of MSG's side effects may vary due to the individual's physical fitness, because it should not be consumed in excess.

Summary: MSG is a good seasoning product. Therefore, whether it is cooking at home or outside, restaurants like to put MSG, especially when eating outside, pay attention to the business, businesses in order to make more money, to attract customers, give dishes to taste, monosodium glutamate, especially Too much, if the long run will cause great harm to our body, I hope to give a bit of caution, hope that the above summary of the harm of MSG to some of the information helpful to you.
