The consumption of foods rich in monosodium glutamate has increased tremendously in recent years.

A recently published research paper in the Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry suggests that Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) or Ajinomoto's daily intake at a high dosage is extremely toxic to humans as well as experimented animals.

MSG is toxic to the various organs such as the liver, brain, thymus, and kidneys

Lack of feeling (numbness), tingling or burning in the face, neck and other areas. Quick, fluttering heartbeats. Chest pain. Feeling sick (nausea).

All these adverse effects may predispose an individual to diseases such as hypertension, heart problems and a faster rate of ageing.

Sleeplessness: MSG can also trigger insomnia by stimulating the brain cells, and keeping you up at night. Over Stimulated Nerves: MSG causes an imbalance in the neurotransmitters by inducing the nerves. Heart Issues: Eating foods with MSG in them can lead to fluttering heartbeats, chest pain, and cardiac arrest.

Ajinomoto contain pig,Beef fat

              *********

The agency eventually declared that enzymes raised on pork fat were present in a monosodium glutamate-based flavour enhancer. The corporation used a beef-based product to make the MSG flavouring before switching to a pig enzyme.

Which countries Banned Ajinomoto?

             ********

Countries like India,  China and Japan have banned the use of ajinomoto in eatables, but the chemical is still indiscriminately used in almost all fast food preparations available in Calcutta, from chanachur to soup.                                  Ajinomoto moto banned in India

On the complaint of deliberate use of MSG in such products by manufacturers, the Food Safety Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) stated in 2016.

How to  Identify Ajinomoto in pack food

             *********

Food manufacturers must declare when MSG is added, either by name or by its food additive code number 621, in the ingredient list on the label of most packaged foods.

ALL CHICKEN PRODUCTS CONTAIN MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE. 

The chilli paneer you normally would order in a restaurant is filled with MSG. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is added to most Chinese dishes cooked in restaurants.MSG is commonly found in canned foods, soups, fast foods, and processed foods. 

Ajinomoto' is a flavour enhancer. But it is in fact a kind of poison that kills humans slowly.
