Research has documented several effects related to MSG, including burning sensations of the mouth, head and neck, weakness of the arms or legs, headaches and upset stomach approximately 15 minutes after the MSG is consumed.

One study in mice concluded that injections of MSG produced obesity, inactivity and many other hormone fluctuations. The impact is more severe due to excessive consumption of MSG among others exposed to a number of dangerous diseases such as high blood pressure, stroke, and cancer.

In 1908, the Japanese discovered the fifth type of taste called "unami". Taste "unami" or savory is what became the forerunner of making MSG. In the past, MSG was in the form of seaweed that became the most common cooking spice in China for hundreds of years. MSG is not only found in Chinese food, foods like chips, soups, and fast food now contain a lot of MSG. Even we sometimes feel not satisfied or steady with homemade cooking if you have not added MSG in it. But, we have to remember the negative impact of MSG consumption, we should start switching to use more healthy ingredients and we can still make the taste delicious food.
