aj47 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Anyone? Also is MSG in any way related to the neurotrasmitter Gluamate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenoise Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Yes it a sodium glutamate salt. If you add equal parts NaOH to glutamic acid you will be left with MSG and water. It just stimulates taste receptors. however it is linked to quite a few negative health effects if taken often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenoise Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I remember a study in nature a couple years back that showed that oriental people who abstain from eating msg don't suffer from a greater risk of near sightedness than other ethnic groups. Seems there might a simple cause to the increased rate of nearsightedness in Asians... I'm dead serious about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
