How safe is monosodium glutamate in your opinion?
It is, and hence this thread is not quite meaningful in my opinion. Restaurant chefs who use MSG will tell you that it is very good for health (perhaps even compare it to a vitamin supplement), while a common man might hold a different view. What actually matters is what published research tells us.Vanadium 50 said:Isn't safety a matter of fact and not a matter of opinion?
No, extensive research has shown that consuming MSG in moderate amounts does not have any harmful effects on human health.
The FDA has determined that consuming up to 3 grams of MSG per day is safe for most individuals. However, people who are particularly sensitive may experience mild side effects at lower doses.
No, MSG is not an allergen and does not cause allergic reactions. However, some people may experience mild symptoms such as headache or nausea if they consume large amounts of MSG.
No, MSG is a common ingredient in many types of food, including processed and packaged foods, sauces, and soups. It is also naturally present in some foods such as tomatoes and cheese.
Yes, MSG is safe for children to consume in moderate amounts. However, parents should be aware of their child's sensitivity to MSG and limit their intake if they experience any adverse effects.
