Live Hindi Facts's video: Ajinomoto: The Truth Behind the Slow Poison ajinomoto msg foodscience

Ajinomoto is a brand name for monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer that is widely used in Asian cuisine and processed foods. MSG is made from sodium and glutamic acid, a common amino acid found in many foods. MSG is produced by fermenting plant-based ingredients such as sugar cane, sugar beets, cassava or corn. MSG is also known as ‘धीमा जहर’ (slow poison) in Hindi, because some people believe that it causes various health problems such as headaches, nausea, high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. MSG is generally recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). MSG may cause mild symptoms such as numbness, tingling or burning sensations in some people who are sensitive to it, but these are not harmful and usually go away quickly. -----------------------------
