Truth about MSG: Safe or Toxic? Cause Weight Gain, Overeating? Monosodium Glutamate, Food Nutrition

What a moron. MSG does NOT make food taste better because of stimulating
the brain. That is simply a person who has no clue about what they learned
trying to put things together, and doing a poor job of it. Simply put, MSG
works because we have receptors for different things that are important to
the body. Sugar is important for energy, salt is important for many things
such as nerve conductivity, etc and etc, We have 5 types of detectors of
such important molecules (taste buds), the detection of these important
molecules is called tasting sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and the lesser
known taste called "umami". Umami is the tongue detecting the presence of
glutamate, an important amino acid that is part of mental functioning and
memory forming. In other words, we have taste buds which solely have the
function of detecting glutamate, because it is so important to find it and
eat it!!! Glutamate is found in many natural foods from meats to various
vegetables to even human breast milk. The chinese have a history of eating
foods high in glutamate, such as seaweed, (hmmm, wonder why they do so well
when it comes to mental tasks) and when investigating what it was in the
food that our body has taste buds to find, they isolated it and now it is
sold in the form of MSG. Of course adding glutamate to foods makes it taste
better, so does adding salt to chips, and adding sugar to breakfast cereal.
Our taste buds detect these important molecules and our brain takes it as
pleasure when they are found.
NOW, is too much MSG bad for you, DUH of course it is! Too much WATER is
bad for you, too much anything is bad given the basic definition of "too
much". So, when some doctor somewhere injects too much MSG into a rat
somewhere, of course too much of it will result in problems. But in a
nutshell, we have the taste buds for glutamate on our tongues for a reason,
glutamate is an extremely important amino acid for brain functioning and
should of course be part of a healthy diet. But like any other important
molecule our tongue enjoys, too much is bad. Too much salt is bad, too much
sugar is bad, and too much glutamate is bad. 

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM!

Kind of amazing what this stuff does to rats… #MSG #nutrition

I've injected MSG five times a day for 12 years… never did me any harm!

Oh dear, there is little in this video that is actually correct, and what
is correct is then twisted in such a way to result in the wrong
conclusions. For the vast majority of people MSG has no ill side effects,
you can't use anecdotal stories as equivalent to scientific studies

Went to thailand and they put msg on everything. So they must all be super
fat people? Sugar makes dirt taste good and makes you fat OMG. Salt gives
me a headache and makes my blood pressure dangerous high…. No way stuff
that taste good is bad? No way this is to much bullshit… No way…. I am
only feeding my mice sugar and salt for now on…. No way….

I used to use MSG, but then I got a tinnitus (not from MSG) that gets for
real tripled after eating flavor enhanced food. I've heard varying
explanations as to how/why it happens – but I can tell you that it really
happens – no bullshit.

This is amazing, I am creating a video to help share this info, it is
actually in some "natural" shampoos as well people ought to know, I hope
you consider publishing my video response,should you feel it helps this
cause. In GIOVANNI SHAMPOO, JASON TOOTHPASTE, YES TO CUCUMBERS SHAMPOO (at
least in Canada) + more.

Daniel Gonorrea is very cute and one big MORONNN

Great video!! Thanks, Corrina. Maybe now my friends will understand,
because you explain it so succinctly, thoroughly and even though you
explain the science, they will still be able to understand because you do
it so well!!

All I kno is msg gives my mother brother and me killer migraines
