Is MSG or Ajinomoto harmful to consume?
Does consuming Ajinomoto (MSG) cause headache, palpitations, affect brain functions and cause cancer? In this video we look at a very popular misconception related to the consumption of Ajinomoto or Monosodium Glutamate.
A popular belief is that MSG can cause headaches and other feelings of discomfort but double blinded tests have found no good evidence to support this. International and national bodies governing food additives currently consider MSG safe for human consumption as a flavor enhancer. Under normal conditions, humans can metabolize relatively large quantities of glutamate, which is naturally produced in the gut in the course of protein hydrolysis. The use of MSG as a food additive and the natural levels of glutamic acid in foods are not of toxic concern in humans. Specifically MSG in the diet does not increase glutamate in the brain or affect brain function
