This is one of the earliest boomer fake news from America, already debunked many times but still many believe it.

According to science, MSG or umami is the fifth taste that human tongue can tastes, discovered by Japanese chemist, it is also a natural protein that human body makes, it helps combine and bring out flavor of food, makes them taste more savory and give you a full sensation after eat, control overeating.

So many good things about MSG, yet people still believe the ancient boomer fake news.

Japanese eat them so long, the world eat ajinomoto so long, people healthy no side effects.

Salt and sugar worse, should replace them with MSG instead.

msg? no

chinese food? haram lol

there is a pump in the brain that actively pump out the glutamate, so it will not cross the blood brain barrier. So MSG consumption does not really matter dude

MSG is a neurotoxin.

It can trigger brain cells to excited state until brain cells go dead

moderation

Tried and tested for 1 whole year, no one ever complained/mentioned/thought my food has MSG when I was doing some Chinese takeaway thingy sometime back.
Not even those close friends, that is yeye 'I can't touch a single grain of MSG, my brain will burst'

I even asked, where is your headache and coughing and thirsty-ness?

I used MSG + soy sauce + fish sauce. No salt in my kitchen.

If too much msg will feel very thirsty leh

Ask that fella don't dump the whole tablespoon of salt in the food

Ya this is argument used by Ajinomoto to counter the myths.

msg+salt+sugar all bad..my friend with high blood pressure claimed his level drop after eating home cook food during MCO

But in thailand, if u goto local restaurant, they have a box on msg on every table, u are free to add as much as u like

Yeah exactly, it's the glutamic part that makes it a neurotoxin or neurotransmitter to be exact.

why people treat MSG as something cancer-causing kind of thing?

i just treat it same like salt, sugar, pepper. just add a bit to enhance the flavor la.

macam you guys drink bubbles milk tea very healthy because it contains milk, sendiri tipu sendiri.

if sodium salt is bad, but potassium salt is good, then simple solution should be when you want to add salt, just add sodium salt and potassium salt equally so that the food is still salty but potassium will cancel out the bad effect of sodium. with this approach, the food can be as tasty as it needs be, correct or not?
