Why is MSG in food?

Answer 1

MSG tricks your body into thinking that the food you are consuming is nutritious, even if it is not. It also causes brain damage to some extent. It damages or kills some of the neurons in your brain. Although there are about 100 billion neurons in your brain your not able to remake them like you are blood cells.

Answer 2

MSG contains a huge amount of free glutamate which is also naturally used as a neurotransmitter in the brain. It causes brain cells to fire their electrical impulse to communicate with each other. However, if the brain has excess glutamate, including that from MSG, then the brain cells will be overstimulated, even sometimes to death. So to answer your question, if large amounts of this glutamate from MSG enters the brain then over time a person could lose a lot of brain cells. The brain cells that aren't killed by excess glutamate are still impaired, especially while still being overstimulated. If I accidentally consume MSG I'm almost completely mentally incapacitated for days, but I'm much more sensitive to it than most people.
