Horrible Side Effects of
Ajinomoto (Pragnancy, Cancer, & ……….)
The main
ingredient of Ajinomoto is MSG, which is used for enhancing the flavor of
food. In the past, it was used in Chinese food but it has shifted from Chinese
restaurants to our kitchen shelves.
I’m going
to introduce to the side effects of Ajinomoto that includes how it is
bad in pregnancy, and how it is linked to cancer and so on.
What is Ajinomoto
Ajinomoto
is one of the crucial ingredients of many Chinese food items. It is also known
as Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). An awful ingredient found in nearly all
fast food products is the monosodium glutamate (MSG).
This ingredient arrives under the label of Ajinomoto.
Ajinomoto
is a Japanese company known as Ajinomoto Corporation, which manufactures the
Ajinomoto food enhancer. The main ingredient of Ajinomoto is the Monosodium
Glutamate often called “MSG”. This ingredient is more and more found
in numerous packed foods, It improves the taste of the food products.
MSG is
low-priced and easily accessible in the marketplace. It improves the flavor of
food items for the reason that people like it.
What are the Side Effects of
Ajinomoto (MSG)
Dr. Mercola suggests, MSG is “a silent killer
that’s worse than alcohol, nicotine, and drugs is likely lurking in your
kitchen cabinets and even your child’s school cafeteria.”
the FDA
identifies MSG as ‘generally recognized as safe’, there happen to be a wide
range of reports of unfavorable side effects from MSG consumption more
than the years.
The side
effects of Ajinomoto (MSG) is following-:
1) MSG Symptom Complex
According
to Food and drug administration, MSG is safe when
you consume in ideal quantity. It suggests MSG has side effects in case you
consume in excessive amounts, which is originally known as the Chinese
restaurant syndrome, are better introduced as the MSG symptom complex.
MSG
symptom complex includes burning sensations in the face and neck,
breathing problem, headache, nausea, vomiting, fast heartbeats and so on.
2) Ajinomoto for Pregnant Women
Is
Ajinomoto Bad For Pregnant Women?
For the
duration of pregnancy, pregnant women should be cautious about what they
consume, especially when the foods include additives like Ajinomoto.
During pregnancy, the body and the unborn child are more sensitive to food
items.
Sterility
in females has been linked with the ingestion of Ajinomoto.
According
to momjunction.com, Too much MSG allows a way
to free glutamates in the body. It has an effect on the baby by breaking down
the placental barrier of food supply to the baby.
- The malfunction of this
barrier would imply the baby is uncovered to all substance in
the blood, that includes good as well as bad, in the same
ratio as pregnant women.
- This might not be healthful
for the baby because the immune system of the baby is unable to combat any
external allergens and illness triggering germs.
- The free glutamates can also
get to the brain neurons and induce them.
Neesha Bukht Choksy, who is a nutrition
consultant suggests, Increased quantities of sodium in your diet can lead to
water retention and high blood pressure while pregnant.
Ajinomoto
can make food tasty but When you have any kind of hesitation about the use
of Ajinomoto (MSG), it is best to avoid it and stay on the safe
side for the health of an unborn baby.
3) Headaches (Migraine Trigger)
A
headache is a typical side effect of MSG, you usually find it. Continue
consumption of Ajinomoto can cause a gentle headache to transform into a
migraine, and it can be critical.
A migraine headache includes intense pain, which
commonly happens with different symptoms, which includes vision changes, sensitivity
to sound or light, or nausea.
4) MSG is Bad for Heart
The side
effect of MSG also has an effect on your heart. Ingestion of Ajinomoto
contributes to abnormal heartbeats, chest pains, and cardiac muscles arrest.
5) Ajinomoto Effects on Nerves
Repetitive
consumption of MSG also has an effect on Nerves. Ingestion of Ajinomoto can
lead to problems such as numbness, tingling or burning sensations in the face
and neck.
MSG is a
neurotransmitter, which induces the nerves and misbalances the neurotransmitters. Neurodegenerative disorders including
Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis has a connection
with Ajinomoto.
6) Asthma Issues
the FASEB
report (1995) came to the conclusion that MSG may cause asthma problems in a
minor subset of people with asthma who are sensitive to the food additive.
This
finding was determined by 2 previous research of MSG ingestion in people with
asthma.
However,
the FASEB writers noted a number of deficiencies in the research methods. Following studies have not proved this
connection.
“Clinical and Experimental Allergy” review
determined that the presence of MSG-induced asthma is not conclusively founded,
and more research is required to identify a feasible connection among MSG
and asthma.
7) Weight Gain
Researchers
discovered that consumption of more MSG is more probable to cause overweight or
obesity in people. The relation among high MSG intake and obesity placed even
after accounting for the total number of calories people consumed.
Ka He,
who is a nutrition expert at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who
led the study, said that although the risk of weight gain attributable to MSG
was modest, the implications for public health are substantial. “Everybody eats
it,” He told Reuters Health.
Numerous studies
indicate that higher intake of MSG may cause “leptin resistance”. Leptin
present in your body delivers indication to the brain to stop eating. As a
result, it regulates appetite.
With
regards to leptin resistance, leptin is not capable of giving the indication to
your brain, and you can’t decide when to stop consuming. It may cause
overeating as well as positive energy balance.
Therefore,
More research is required to find the amount of MSG consumption that will not
trigger weight gain in people.
8) Hypertension
According
to SFGate, MSG contains about one-third of the
sodium found in table salt.
One
research demonstrated that MSG has an effect of increasing the blood pressure. It noticed that MSG
consumption was connected to boost the blood pressure (mainly in women).
At the same time, a bigger connection was observed between consumption of MSG
and boost in the blood pressure in people who were on antihypertensive
medications.
However,
numerous research was unable to display the connection between MSG intake
and high blood pressure.
9) Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Sleep
disordered breathing itself tell that it is the sleep-related breathing
problem.
Research
that executed in Chinese people demonstrated that who consumed an MSG or
Ajinomoto including food experienced sleep pattern and snoring problems.
These people were at increased risk of building SDB (sleeping disordered
breathing).
According
to research, consumption of MSG may increase the risk of
snoring and sleep-disordered breathing.
10) Sleeplessness
MSG is a
nervous stimulant that stimulates the brain cells or neurons, which causes you
to awake at night and triggers insomnia.
11) Ajinomoto and Cancer
The
author of “Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills”, who is Dr. Russel Blaylock,
claims that excessive ingestion of glutamate enhances cancer development,
and he also highlights the demand for well-investigated studies into this
section.
Despite
the fact that the safety of MSG is the topic of discussion more than the
years. The relation among MSG and cancer is determined by anecdotal proof
that does not deliver scientific evidence, the American Institute for Cancer Research suggests.
There is
the lack of evidence that supports MSG has cancer-triggering capabilities,
or consumption of Ajinomoto can raise the chances of cancer. Without any doubt,
When you come across that you are sensitive to MSG, It is good to
avoid it by checking product labels.
Conclusion:-
All the side
effects of Ajinomoto (MSG) indicates that we should avoid and
reduce the consumption of food products that includes Monosodium Glutamate. In
general, research on MSG is not final in both direction,
and this may have an effect on every person in different ways, but the normal
lean is being bad when it comes to MSG
What do
you think – Ajinomoto is a flavor enhancer or silent killer??
Why Side Effects Of
Ajinomoto Are Deadlier Than You Think?
Monosodium
Glutamate commonly known as Ajinomoto is one of the main ingredients of many
Chinese food items.
Still,
most of the people don’t know its side effects on our health. Children and
pregnant woman are more vulnerable to it.
Just one
decade back, we use to love mom-made, home-cooked food. Eating outside was very
rare and even not needed.
The yummy
and healthy Parathas are loaded with ghee; all simple, home-cooked food was the
only thing you would think about. The fashion of pizza, chips, and Maggie has
just recently come into vogue.
Yep, Time
has changed. All ready to cook and instant food are readily available
everywhere, even at your home.

I know
that people are literate enough. They are aware now of the ingredients and the
nutritional content of the item, but why do they turn their eyes against
something like MSG, a slow killer.
The worst
ingredient present in almost all prepared food items is the monosodium
glutamate. Big name?This element comes from the name of Ajinomoto.
What is
this? How does it harm you? All these questions will be answered in the
following article.
Ajinomoto
is nothing but a Japanese firm named Ajinomoto Corp..It produces this Ajinomoto
food enhancer.
Its main
ingredient is this monosodium glutamate commonly known as MSG. It enhances the
flavor of the food items. This ingredient is increasingly found in many
prepared foods.
Previously
only Chinese food contained this ingredient. But now it has moved from Chinese
restaurants to our kitchen shelves.
The
noodles that you eat wafers that you enjoy and 1 min soup packet you feel yummy
are all slow killers. All these essential food items contain MSG (monosodium glutamate).
Below is
the reason as to why is this ingredient so harmful and how does it harm our
body.
How This MSG Is Made & Why Is It So Harmful?
When you
eat items containing MSG or glutamic acid, then the glutamate levels
in the blood increases by about 8-10 times. Normally this level should be very
low in the blood. Due to this excess level, it causes severe effects.

Also, the
Ajinomoto ingredients is an excitatory neurotransmitter. It over
stimulates the nerve cells. Excess intake of this ingredient upsets the balance
of the neurotransmitter. This imbalance leads to an unhealthy body and also
adverse consequences.
Why do
people use it even after knowing everything? This is the question that hits me
often. Look, MSG is quite cheap and is readily available in the market. It
enhances the food taste so that people like you, long for more. With low costs,
food chains will get huge profits.
Another
reason is that when you take MSG, it stimulates your pancreas. Pancreas then
releases the insulin even when your sugar level is fine. This excess insulin
causes a drop in the sugar standards of the body, and you feel hungry. This
leads to overeating along with obesity.
MSG is
addictive too. If you eat items containing MSG once, you tend to get into the
habit of eating that food item on a regular basis.
Ajinomoto Side Effects:
I have
been repeating this line many times that MSG is a slow killer. The health
effect that it has at first are quite mild. But with the expense of time, they
become severe.
Instead
of having many Side effects the product is still very much used in our day to
day life.
Here
below is the list of some Side effects caused by this dangerous ingredient.
- A headache: This is a very common side
effect of MSG. You normally get it. But due to continuing intake of MSG,
this mild headache can take the form of a migraine. This migraine can be
very severe.
- Overstimulates the nerves: As already discussed MSG is
a neurotransmitter. It stimulates the nerves and misbalances the
neurotransmitters. This leads to an unhealthy body.

- Heart effects: Excess intake doesn’t even
leave heart unaffected. It leads to irregular heartbeats, cardiac muscles
arrest, and Chest pains.
- Burning sensation in the
facial region is quite familiar due to regular intake of MSG.
- Pregnant women have to be very cautious
regarding this ingredient. It causes sterility in pregnant women.During
pregnancy, Ajinomoto should have been avoided the cause of its side
effect.
- Even small kids should
completely avoid consumption of MSG.
- MSG can be a reason for
problems like blood pressure, thyroid issues, diabetes, asthma, food
allergies and also obesity.
- Excess sweating is also a
very common side effects of MSG.
- Nausea and weakness can also
be felt after consumption of MSG.
- It can also damage the
retina of the eyes.
- This ingredient can also be
a reason for causing cancer.
Items That Contain MSG:
- Ready to eat food packets
- Instant noodles and cup
noodles.
- All canned and preserved
foods
- All fast food items, mainly
Chinese
These
food items should be completely avoided. If you don’t, you are risking your
life to an ingredient that will kill you slowly.
Prefer
food items made at home, basically organic and unprocessed food. I’m not saying
that you should never eat these things.You can make all these things at home
without the use of this dangerous MSG.
After
knowing all this, I’m pretty sure that you will avoid all kinds of prepared
food items. Not completely, but still you will try.
See, life
is very precious. Don’t pay high prices just for satisfying your taste buds. I
will just say maintain one thing “say no to Ajinomoto or this ingredient MSG.”
Ensure
that when you eat out, there is no MSG added to the food item. When you buy
products to make sure that they are free of MSG.
How harmful is Ajinomoto?
FDA says on its website that the controversial
monosodium glutamate (MSG) is ‘generally recognised as safe’ (GRAS). MSG occurs
naturally in many foods, such as tomatoes and cheeses.
The
nation went into a tizzy over products in which Ajinomoto (Aji No Moto –
“Essence of Taste” in Japanese) is used and the agitation died down with equal
speed.
But the
all-powerful Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responsible for protecting and
promoting public health through regulation and supervision of food and drugs in
the United States says on its website (www.fda.gov) that the controversial
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is “generally recognised as safe” (GRAS). FDA
standards are accepted all over the world.
The
website says: “FDA considers the addition of MSG to foods “generally recognised
as safe” (GRAS). Although many people identify themselves as sensitive to MSG,
in studies with such individuals given MSG or a placebo, scientists have not
been able to consistently trigger reactions.”
The
websites also says “MSG occurs naturally in many foods, such as tomatoes and
cheeses. People around the world have eaten glutamate-rich food throughout
history.”
Over the
years, the FDA has received reports from consumers of symptoms such as headache
and nausea after eating food containing MSG. It could not, however, confirm
that presence of MSG caused the reported effects.
These
adverse event reports triggered the FDA to ask an independent scientific group
Federation of American Societies for Experiment Biology (FASEB) to make a study
in 1990s.
The FASEB
report concluded that MSG is safe, the website says. FASEB report identified
some short-term, transient and generally mild symptoms in a few sensitive
individuals who consumed 3 gm or more of MSG without food. However, a typical
serving of food with added MSG contains less than 0.5 gm. Consuming more than 3
gm of MSG without food at one time is unlikely, the website says.
Safety of
ingredients
Hyderabad-based
dietician and MD of Nutriline Jyoti Chabria says she uses FDA website as a
reference on safety of ingredients used in food, “Products with MSG have been
in the market for many years, but no long-term health effects have been
reported till date,” said Dr Chabria.
Over the
