MSG lebih berkhasiat dalam makanan berbanding garam.

real MD doctor or just someone just put dr?

Pagi² already want make pisang angry issit?

Sudah kena holiday liao

Dah la celoteh, nak picaya lagi pakar pakar ni

I also recently started using MSG instead of salt at home in my cooking as it has less sodium.

tapi bila sakit kena guna ubat dari negara barat.....

bila makan...kecam negara barat.....

suka suka ikut, suka suka kecam....

this is what i call....very very "sound" science.....

actually what's the point of no MSG when you dump a whole packet of salt/sugar into the dish?

I don't understand why people still get scam with "MSG is bad" ?

Er medicine from barat ke?

China la

O wai

Msg is extra, not as salt substitute. Salt is really good at bringing out the flavor of the ingredients

Those who bitch about salt likely load themselves up with carbs lol

real MD

But MSG make my throat dry up, need to drink loads of water...

salt and MSG is two different shit

do you even chemistry bro?

MSG contain sodium (salt) also...in very little amount

if u use msg u don't know how to cook
- grandma

gram for gram....MSG contains less sodium than salt. Also, glutamate is easily metabolized into water and energy by body.

Having too much sodium will cause high blood pressure as you get older.

MSG is less sodium compare to salt. If you cannot take moderate, MSG offers less sodium.

Both will cause your throat dry up and drink more water.

MSG is only 1/4 saltiness of table salt gram for gram

so to achieve same saltiness with MSG, you need to add shit load of MSG

I also pelik. They say msg rosak otak. But i see chinese ok je. Pandai.

why people think MSG is bad?

The secret is actually pork

Salt is sodium chloride.
MSG is monosodium glutamate, so yes, both contain sodium, and people are advised to reduce the sodium in their diets.
While both have sodium, they don't have it in equal amounts

it is sugar ler

umami

well, sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate also both have sodium

Doctor beli.

MSG is controversial beause in a 60’s a guy went to a Chinese restaurant in USA, and decided that if he wasn’t digesting his meal properly it was because of MSG.

No studies nothing, just a letter saying that MSG was the culprit! Talk about science based evidence…

Thats the problem.

Despite having "sodium" in its name, monosodium glutamate contains only 12.28 grams of sodium per 100 grams. That's about one-third of the sodium found in table salt (39.34 grams/100 grams).

If you replace 1/2 teaspoon of table salt with the same amount of MSG, you'll reduce the sodium content in your food by about 37%, without losing much flavor.

As a home cook, that means using MSG could help enhance the perception of saltiness while reducing the actual sodium content in your food.

Which is the reason for substituting salt with MSG for those who need to reduce salt in their diet.

MSG=bad. meanwhile, sugar, garam. cheese meleleh=Sihat.

MSG, salt and sugar are basically concentrated essence/ umami of a food/ liquid.

it's plain stupid to judge MSG. too much MSG will cause thirsty, then how about too much salt and sugar? will still make your food salty and sweet, after that will you drink water? undeniable MSG will make food taste better in a way, but those are no skill chef's work. this only prove that people who doesn't know how to cook but wanna act vert knowledgeable.

all ingredients should be use in moderate way to create a better flavor.

Weiiii this one doktor betul2 laa.

If u use Ajinomoto then is ok.

If u use cheapskate that sell in Pasar. Rm10 for dunno how big pack. Then it is problem

1kg - Salt RM2.50 vs MSG RM15.

Better profits & cheaper to use salt, no?

Salt + msg
Hnnghhh

THIS, MSG generally contains 30% salt. so in comparison to foods that let say you put full salt vs MSG only, the MSG ones win in terms of flavor and less salt consumption too

but dont fear salt, salt is important for your body to function. the only difference is moderation is key, the dose maketh the poison.

the stupidest thing is they kept correlating this "chinese restaurant syndrome" to MSG but ignoring other variables that caused them to feel "thirsty" after eating

which usually IMO these fuks dont drink enough water or they drink those sweet ass drinks or they eating other salty ass foods

not to mention the issue thanks to all these "garbled scientific studies" in first place, they kept thinking salt = bad, but without salt your body gonna be FUCKED. these people will complain about foods high in salt but munch on shit like potato chips

Masak soup. No need tulang. Cheaper.

worry then use natural MSG loh

google AI

Common substitutes include dried shiitake mushrooms, nutritional yeast, parmesan cheese, kombu (dried kelp), tomato paste, soy sauce, and fermented fish sauce.

because of research flaws back then

Many studies use extremely high doses of MSG (e.g., 1800–30,000 mg/kg/day) that far exceed levels humans consume in food.

Administration Route:
MSG is often administered through gavage (forced tube feeding), subcutaneous, or intraperitoneal injection, which is not relevant to how humans consume MSG through food.

Methodological Flaws:
Studies are often conducted without adherence to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), lack adequate control groups, or use small numbers of animals.

Which garam better? Himalaya pink salt?

masakan melayu tak guna msg?
dunno la, usually i cook my stir fry vege all the time with msg, baru can eat.
garam alone didnt help.

if i want to go garam route, maybe i need to add something like gula, baru jadi kot.

how much MSG you put in? same amount as you put salt previously? why not just put less salt?

if it is stir fry, abit of msg is to make food taste better. if it is curry, rendang, soup and masak lemak, MSG can keep already coz there is alot of spice, meat, bawang and stuffs already.

About same amount, but it also adds a good taste, which salt does not.

The one with traces of iodine.

whats wrong with msg? its part of 5 human taste.

dont go overboard with MSG is the key. samething dont go too sweet or salty with food.

Im against anti MSG. they dont understand that use at appropriate amount is the key.

salt mana ada umami??

Dulu masa belajar kimia SPM topik ubat, cikgu ada cakap pasal sindrom restoran cina. Berlaku sbb banyak restoran guna MSG berlebihan.

Dalam sup penuh MSG la..

When you get older, your sense of taste is get weak. That cause you to eat stronger-tasting food.

The problem is when this stupid people misunderstand, they replace it with salt. But not the amount.

When the amount of salt is the same as that replaced, that increases the sodium intake.

Cikgu ajar fakta kimia atau perkara2 lain?

that is even more dangerous right? overdose of salt.

Also sodium retains water, need to be mindful for certain patients.

Yes MSG will make food taste better and saltier or sweeter than it is. In this way, you actually will use less salt or sugar.

Chinese restaurant syndrome has been debunked and is now considered not a medical condition. Decades of testing and research is not able to prove that MSG sensitivity is real.

MSG pun boleh racing?????

Cikgu saya chinese la.

Asal boleh

depa pakai perencah hilal

Americans started it first. Blame them
