MSG FLAVOR FULL
This creates a brief sensation of wellbeing.īut it damages the brain and alters its ability to respond to the signal from the hormone leptin that tells us we’re full … which is why, when you eat foods containing MSG, you just want to keep eating, making the food seem almost addictive. It’s a type of neurotransmitter known as an excitotoxin, meaning it over-stimulates the brain, causing an overproduction of dopamine.

But still, quite a lot of people do experience unpleasant symptoms like headaches, flushing, sweating, nausea, heart palpitations, chest pain and facial numbness or tingling after eating food with MSG in it. And the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies MSG as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). The food industry claims that MSG is totally safe. It’s created through a fermentation process, and excess MSG isn’t excreted like excess glutamate would be. But it’s not natural like L-glutamic acid or glutamate. It’s popular in Asian cooking and packaged foods for its “umami” flavor that gives a meaty taste. It dissolves easily in water, separating into sodium and free glutamate. MSG is a white, odorless, crystalline powder used in the food industry, also known as E621.
