Have you paid extra for a product that said "No MSG"❓Probably.
• Reality ➡️ MSG is NOT a scary ingredient found in Chinese food or packaged foods that causes headaches, nausea, or brain damage 🚫 • MSG = Monosodium Glutamate. Let’s break that down... Mono=☝🏻 Sodium= salt Glutamate = an amino acid (the building blocks of protein) • Glutamate is naturally found in meat, 🐟 , milk, and many veggies • If MSG is added to food you will see it called out on the ingredient label. The FDA and scientists around the 🌎 have done a lot of research to determine that MSG is a safe ingredient to use for enhancing flavor.¹ • Whether we eat glutamate from foods (🍅, parmesan cheese, mushrooms) or seasoning, our bodies digest it the exact same way. • Why do we love MSG? ❇️Taste – it provides that savory, delicious taste called umami. ❇️Nutrition – because you only need a little MSG to season your food. You can actually ⬇️ your salt intake by 2/3 when replacing table salt with MSG. • ⚠️Flavoring your food with MSG is perfectly safe (and delicious). #NoshItFoodFacts #WhyUseMSG • Side note: Glutamate (the amino acid) and gluten (the protein found in wheat) are two completely different things. If you have celiac disease you are able to consumer MSG without a problem, however, some products like soy-sauce may have both MSG + gluten • Keep an eye out on the NoshItFoodFacts Instagram stories for a MSG taste-test👩🏼🔬 _____ ¹ FDA. https://www.fda.gov/food/food-additives-petitions/questions-and-answers-monosodium-glutamate-msg © Elieke Kearns, PhD, RD and Nosh.it Food Facts, 2021.
