Scientific research has found that long-term consumption of monosodium glutamate will reduce the normal resistance of the human body, reduce the absorption of vitamins, and have destructive effects on the central nervous system, bones, bone marrow and genetic system of the human body. Especially after high temperature treatment, such as frying, smoking or cooking for a long time, monosodium glutamate is more harmful to human body and may even induce cancer.
Mr. Pichai suggested that in the future, monosodium glutamate production enterprises should mark the specific components of monosodium glutamate in detail for consumers to choose. At present, in addition to ordinary monosodium glutamate, there are many foods containing monosodium glutamate, such as chicken essence and some fried crispy foods, which all contain monosodium glutamate to varying degrees. For these products, specific ingredients should be marked in detail to reduce misleading to consumers.
Chicken essence is harmless, but the chicken essence appearing in the market in recent years is not extracted from chicken, but made by adding fresh-keeping nucleotides on the basis of monosodium glutamate. Because nucleotide has the delicate flavor of chicken, it is called chicken essence. From a health point of view, chicken essence is also harmless to human body.
