What's MSG?!
Answers: My mom says that Ramon Noddles are bad for you cause they have a lot of MSG. I tried asking her what it was but all shed say was "just bad stuff". Can you tell me what MSG is and what it stands for.
Monosodium glutamate, a common food additive
Although traditional Asian cuisine uses flavour-enhancing ingredients which contain high concentrations of MSG, it was not isolated until 1907. MSG was subsequently patented by the Japanese Ajinomoto Corporation in 1909. In its pure form, it appears as a white crystalline powder; when dissolved in water (or saliva) it rapidly dissociates into sodium cations and glutamate anions (glutamate is the anionic form of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid).
monosodiumglutamate
Monosodium glutamate, sodium glutamate, flavour enhancer 621, EU food additive code: E621, HS code: 29224220 (IUPAC name 2-aminopentanedioic acid. Also known as 2-aminoglutaric acid), commonly known as MSG, Ajinomoto, Vetsin, or Accent, is a sodium salt of glutamic acid. MSG is a food additive and it is commonly marketed as a "flavour enhancer"
It's a flavor enhancer and yes it bad for you.Accent is the same thing in the stores by the spices.
Alot of the food chains use it,thats why alot of people get sick after eating.
