Certain individuals are definitely more sensitive to MSG (monosodium glutamate) than others. Reported affects include severe headaches including migraine headaches, flushing, rashes, heart palpitations and respiratory symptoms. However, studies have failed to determine any specific links between MSG and health problems, possibly because not all people are affected.

Also, MSG has been shown by studies to cause brain damage in infants and is banned for use in baby foods. As for adults, excess consumption may cause headaches but no long term detrimental effects have been proven.

While MSG was thought to be bad for you at one time recent research by Frito Lay shows this not to be the case. It turns out it was not bad for them at all as they raked in over 40 billion dollars in revenue last year alone with their MSG loaded chips products.

Soy is a kind of bean from which we get liquids, oils, meal, paste, etc. MSG - Monosodium Glutamate - is a flavour enhancer usually industrially fermented by bacteria. The constituents of MSG, Glutamate, are found in nearly all foods as a protein amino acid.

Free Glutamate, that provides the same flavour enhancement as MSG, is found in high concentrations in fermented bean products, like Soy sauce, and other foods such as yeast, sharp cheeses, fish sauce etc...

Homemade seitan does not have MSG in it. It is made of wheat gluten along with flavorings such as spices, soy sauce, etc. For commercial seitan products, you should check the ingredients. If it is used, MSG should be listed.

Atta Maggie contains? DSG (DiSodium Glutamate), which does contain Bactosoytone. Not written in ingredients as such, hidden under alias Flavor-627.

Maggi contains MSG (Monosodium glutamate) used as a flavor enhancer, which is made? using Bactosoytone, itself made from soy protein using a catalyst enzyme porcine (taken from intestine of Pig). Chemically, catalyst never goes in the molecu...lar structure of Bactosoytone, hence it's Vegetarian for Nestle. MSG as such is harmful to health. Recently Maggi Launched no-MSG series known as Vegetable Atta-Maggie, but that's just a makeover.

Pigs skin juice (Suyyar keh Maas ka Rus) is used for bringing taste to maggi

Maggi is Non Veg - - -try this experiment at home

Boil chicken maggi soup powder and vegetarian maggi noodles masala powder

After boiling, taste both of them....they will taste the same...all the best

I think it would be possible if a lot of the MSG entered the brain, since it would overstimulate brain cells which would generate enormous amounts of free radicals that damage DNA. However, I think it would be extremely rare. Excess glutamate such as that found in MSG has been shown to increase the growth and spread of cancer once you do have it though. I would be more concerned about MSG damaging and killing off my brain cells.

Typically because the literature published by MSG detractors goes too far in speculating the effects of MSG on humans based on sketchy evidence. Studies which look at MSG in vitro on a petri dish or in lab animals might suggest the possibility of a negative effect in humans, but it's unfair to conclude from animal and in vitro studies alone that MSG is dangerous for humans. A small percentage of the populous may exhibit an allergic reaction to MSG, but other than that and the possibility of weight gain due to MSG's flavor enhancing properties (people may eat more MSG-coated junk because it tastes better), current scientific evidence has found no increased risk of any disease or condition in humans due to consumption of modest quantities of MSG allowed in foods today. That being said, MSG is by no means a health food, a nutrient, or in anyway essential. Foods which have MSG added are typically high in saturated fat, hydrogenated oils, processed sugar, salt, enriched wheat flour and are low in fiber. So even MSG being non-dangerous would not be incentive enough to start consuming most of the products that contain MSG. Always assign a reasonable level of skepticism when reading any claims that a product is dangerous. You can find dozens of "anti-" everything sites out on the web, anti-MSG,anti-soy, anti-milk, anti-aspartame and so on. The actual evidence to support most of these sites claims is usually speculatory at best, dead wrong at worst. The sites may cite valid studies, but then draw conclusions which greatly extrapolate on the results.

Deli meats, including turkey, almost always have MSG. The best way to get turkey with no MSG is to get turkey meat from an actual cooked turkey. Swiss cheese can have msg. Read the package for details. Major brands, like Kraft, typically have MSG. Keep in mind that the few ingredients then the less like of msg. Neither item should have naturally occurring gluten.
