Q

MSG

A

Monosodium Glutamate

A scientist felt sick after having a dinner at a Chinese restaurant, after that he drafted a medical journal about all of his symptoms after the meal, based on his hunch over MSG. This causes international panic.

Sodium + Glutamate (amino acid found in organic proteins)

The well-known akin version of MSG - Umami was also in doubt

Was named as Chinese Restaurant Syndrome

Due to scientific research during 1960s, in which MSG was injected in mice and found to cause retina and brain damage, alongside with some studies explored that excessive amount of glutamate can lead to Alzheimer’s (but later found that it’s bc of internal glutamate imbalances and not related to MSG) -> news outbreaks

-> Glutamate actually supports metabolism and some even consider healthy
