I've laughed for years at people - including my sister - who claimed they got sick when they ate MSG. I finally stopped trying to convince them there was plenty of it in foods they ate anyway, until I found a double-blind study that included people who claimed sensitivity done in Great Britain. One of the 'sensitives' said he was certain he had eaten MSG by the way he felt. He was in the control group, no MSG. None of the sensitives (or anyone else) who received fairly large amounts of MSG had any reaction. Showed the study to my sister - her reaction: "Those people weren't really sensitive, they just said they were to get in the study, probably got paid for it. I would've been able to tell"

I believe it is likely that MSG has been wrongly linked to effects of histamine and/or tyramine sensitivity. Aged and fermented foods such as those commonly used in Chinese food (like fish sauce and soy sauce) are very high in MSG, but they are also extremely high in histamines such as tyramine, which can cause adverse effects such as migraines and/or hypertension in certain individuals. This is the same thing as the "cheese effect" some people report after eating aged cheese, which is known for inducing strange dreams and/or migraines in certain people. Wine, beer, sauerkraut, aged meats and similar aged/fermented foods also fit into this category and all are common triggers for people with migraines or histamine sensitivity. It has nothing to do with MSG except incidentally, because fermentation or other aging methods are frequently used to create foods that are high in MSG. But pure, isolated MSG should not cause these effects. At least, that's my working hypothesis. Further research is needed (but I don't know of anyone doing this research, and I am not up to the task myself).

An interesting hypothesis, but American Chinese food, particularly decades ago when this started, is hardly authentic to traditional Chinese cooking. Soy sauce is and has been for a very long time a commercial concoction that does not get fermented.

@@tigerheaddude I don't think I can give an exact amount per se since when both wnen I'm working, and when I'm cooking just for fun I tend to improvise on the amounts (which I need to remember to write down specific recipes sometimes, it is useful practice.) Also, other everybody's tastebuds are different like snowflakes. That all being said, I think I can still help you (at least give you some ideas.) To summarize what I'll say below, learn your ingredients and basic techniques. I'd first learn to understand how the five flavours: Umami/Savouriness, Bitterness, Sweetness, Saltiness, and Sour work. For example try to understand how different spices work both by research out of the kitchen and more importantly taste testing. Some of my personal favorites are Tarragon, Fennel, Basil, Oregano, Mustard Seed, and Ginger. (Also, I recommend Fresh, but you can still do amazing stuff with ground stuff.) I lot's of times on purpose make calculated decisions to add certain spices to the types of foods I'm cooking, and certain types of flavours counteract and support umami very well. (Saltiness, Sweetness, and especially Bitterness from my opinion.) If you can get at least one or two background flavours in addition to your main flavour great! From there, I recommend thinking through food that you already like. For example if there are any recipes that you really like. Trying to understand ingredient by ingredient how that ingredient works. I'd also recommend both knowledge of basic cooking techniques, and specific methods you can implement while performing those techniques to maximize on the flavor. For example if you are making a red or white sauce I'd recommend that you first sweat some garlic and/or shallots in the pan with Olive oil (That is cook them on a low heat, and stir so they don't brown till they become translucent, than add a small amount of wine, normally white wine. Cook that roughly 15-30 seconds before adding the base of your sauce straight in the pot.) This one technique is an example of a simple trick that can add much extra flavour to your food. (Warning: I still haven't mastered this after years of work, so please don't give up if you fail at it the first time.) Oh yeah, don't be afraid to salt food, but try not to oversalt. Salt is very useful in bringing out other flavors and accentuating them. (espcially umami and sweetness.) I highly recommend adding a little at a time, and taste testing your food when possible (same with when cooking and adding the other spices.) You can do wonders with regular salt, but if you can spare a few bucks for Himalayan sea salt, I highly recommend that. (Himalayan Sea Salt also has lot's of vitamins and minerals and it makes water taste better at least for me.) Sorry for the long lengthy post, I hope you don't mind, and I hope this helps you. ;)

Umami is just Japanese for "savory", in English we already have a word for "savory", and that word is "savory"
@argentpuck

"Umami" wasn't actually a word before Ikeda made it up, so it doesn't actually have the one-to-one relationship you imagine. Strictly speaking, if an American chemist had coined the term, we might be calling it something ridiculous like "tasty-licious," which is approximately what "umami" etymologically means. Though I do share your confusion that we opted to borrow the Japanese term instead of using "savory," but English has been stealing other language's words for well over 1,000 years now.

MSG was sold for years under the brand name "Accent" as a "flavor enhancer". Quite possibly it still is. My mother always used it in her own cooking, along with things like onion and garlic powder. Then she decided that MSG in Chinese food made her ill, and tried to avoid it in restaurant food. But she still used it in her own. I asked her about that once, and she said that the quantities she used were much smaller than what was found in Chinese restaurant food, so the little dash of it she used was OK.

I think also, there is a whole ton of food misconceptions that comes from a poor understanding of diets, nutrition, and then pre-judgements based on superficial mistaken observations. And then there are also the usual people who just consciously or unconsciously like to be "victims" and whatnot, including victims of all sorts of theoretical or imagined food allergies, intolerance and whatnot. And I speak this as an often misunderstood lactose intolerant person... :P Like, sure, I can drink a cup of milk. But the diarrhea and abdominal pain just isn't worth it. But I did go back to drinking and eating all sorts of milk related stuff as soon as lactase became easy to find and relatively cheap. Knowledge is liberating. I still get people saying how it's pretty bad to take "drugs" everytime I want to drink some milk, and sometimes it just isn't enough to explain tha what I take isn't what they traditionally think of as medicine, it's just the synthesized enzime that my body need to break down lactose... if it comes in capsules, pills or powder, it must be some highly potent drug that is most likely causing some sort of damage while allowing me to drink milk. But you often find people who avoids all types of food because one time they came down with an illness right after eating something, even though they are not sure if the food or ingredient was the actual culprit. I have some extremely paranoid family members that gives me all sorts of advices on food that makes zero sense to me, and it doesn't matter how much I rebuff their worries with real life experience, they just won't let go. Like saying, but I've been eating or drinking this stuff daily for 20 years now and I never had problems.... oh no, I'm sure this is wrecking havok on you blahdiblah, because I read this thing on the Internet, or because this one time I tried it made me feel really bad.

They somehow made Chinese food taste bland, and that was due to them avoiding MSG to appeal to the American mainstream.

Every once in awhile, we'd have Chinese, months or years later, and again she would have a headache. I can't attest why this was. Maybe she was making it up. Maybe she didn't like the taste. Maybe MSG DID give her a headache. Or maybe something else common in the dish she got gave her headaches. In any case, she went on to have one of her best friends become a Chinese first generation American, and they were thick as thieves. Amy, my sister's friend, made Chinese food and left out MSG, at my sister's request, and my Sister didn't get headaches. It seems compelling even if not definitive why she had trouble.

I'm a personal Chef and back in college I actually did a research paper on the Sigma of MSG which turns out to be ALL about RACISM! Back in the late '60s and early '70s, NYC Asian restaurants were starting to get more and more popular and sales started getting hirer and hirer. Some or I should say Most of course didn't like it. So secretly Non-Asian restaurant owners took Asian food to laboratories to find out what was in it. It was discovered that a form of salt MSG Monosodium L Glutamate enhanced the flavor of salt and made the food taste more savory. So we know what happens next?? Those Non-Asian restaurants started screaming MSG is bad for you just to make real Asian restaurants suffer. Unfortunately, the bad word of mouth, and also public bashing made sales drop, and made people scared to consume MSG. So Asian restaurants were forced to remove it from their cooking. That's why when you go to some Asian restaurants on the menu in bold lettering NO MSG. This is a shame because now after many years of research they have determined MSG is not harmful, or life-threatening. The scare campaign was actually a HATE campaign! There are many products out on the market that most consumers eat that have always contained MSG but they didn't mention those because they were trying to put Asian restaurants out of business. Today you can find MSG at/in KFC, Chick-fil-A, Campbell's soups, Doritos, Pringles, and a whole lot more!!! I use it in 90% of my cooking especially baking when salt is one of the ingredients. I get RAVE reviews for my Cinnamon Rolls!! Oh, by the way, I got an "A" on my research paper and my professor was originally from Vietnam! 😛❤🔥💋

I think it deserves more research. Citric acid obviously isn't bad, but it might not be all that good in the amounts we are consuming it. I think it could be the same with msg.

When I was a kid, MSG would cause me to have severe migraines that would last for days. The first time this happened was when I ate some Chinese food at the age of 4. It took 4 years to narrow down exactly what the trigger for the migraines was, and when it was found, I would have migraines from food with MSG regardless of whether or not I knew it was in there. I have since grown out of the sensitivity, though. I'm going to hypothesize that there are actually people who are sensitive to it, but out of the people who claim to be sensitive to it, probably almost none of them are actually sensitive to it and that it's just purely psychosomatic for the vast majority.

I love Asian food in general and lived for 2 years in Japan and never experienced any strange side effects from any food there. While living in South Africa we visited many restaurants and the one time I had a strange experience was at a Thai restaurant. A relative also had the experience and once before at a Chinese restaurant. Needless to say the experience took me completely by surprise and till this day I have not been able to find out what ingredient in the food caused it so that I know what to avoid. The sensations involved the mandibular nerve and it felt like the head starting from the chin going up to the skull was being squeezed through a tight bottle neck over and over again. The frequency and tightness increased before the sensations stopped. It lasted for about 30-40 minutes. Maybe it was MSG that was causing it or something totally different but definitely something that was consumed. The research is biased if it doesn't take into consideration the experiences of people who never had any reason to expect any side effects but did because of the food they ate. It this case the only thing we could do was to avoid the restaurant in question. I've been to many Asian restaurants since then and never had that problem again. It is still a mystery to me.

Hah, I know it. That's why I always dissagree with people who hate MSG. Literally, MSG is a salt. Mono-Sodium Glutamate. Sodium represent metal (1A in periodic table), and glutamate represent non-metal (it forms from organic acid [amino acid]). In chemist, it means salt. Metal ionic bonding with nonmetal is a salt in chemistry. It's a same thing with another salt (potasium[KCl] or sodium[NaCl] salt).

If you add too much sugar, it becomes too sweet. Add too much vinnegar, it becomes too sour. Add too much chilie and it gets too hot, too much salt and it becomes too salty, too much of something bitter and it's too bitter. Today, I tried MSG for the first time on my food as seasoning. Potatoes - perfect. They were good before but the MSG really elevated them much further. The eggs - I'll be straight up honest, I couldn't taste a differnce. The bacon was completely over-umami'd after I put on the MSG. Not only is bacon really thin, it also already has a lot of umami anyways (which is why we love it). So long you're careful with your doses, everything should work out. And if it tastes great, the goal is reached :)

jeez people are a bunch of idiots thinking msg is only in chinese restaurant food if people could read maybe they would realize that the stuff is in basically any food you can buy unless you are some kind of hard core healthy actual whole foods person pretty much all the stuff in your kitchen that has a list of ingredients will have msg on that list

Gina. Dorito chips brand doused their chips with ton of msg. Almost every fast food chain use msg in their food, for example: kfc use a brine of msg and something else that i forgot, dunk their chicken in that brine then breaded their chicken. The reason why chick fil a chicken nuggets taste so good is because they use msg, mcdonald,burger king,wendy ALL use msg in their foods. Yet people who complain msg never complain about anything i’ve listed above

My take on this: If I really love the way something tastes and my body seems to really want me to ingest it, then it's good for me. I'll be sittin' here with a Guiness and some nachos if anyone wants me. :)

CeltKnight The Nachos sound delicious, as for the Guinness, that would easily be the most foul beverage I’ve ever put into my mouth and body, that’s just my opinion though but I’ve heard that it has some form of bacteria or product from a fishes stomach or something like that.

No , if it’s not bad for you doesn’t mean it’s good for you , I’m here because I started feeling shaky and slight headache after eating a prepackaged heat n eat meatloaf and mashed potatoes and sure enough msg is in the gravy , and it’s been known to cause different side affects so say what you want , if my body is rejecting it and causing shakiness I’m not one of the few it affects negatively and why it was and still should be considered bad for us .

It's great to hear about the science and I am a scientist myself. Interestingly though, I just started looking for experiences with MSG because after making and eating Pho, my heart was practically pounding out of my chest. I had noticed that a few times lately and it hadn't really ever happened before. Last month, I discovered Pho builiion cubes, stocked up on those and have been eating those a few times per week ever since, along with Hoisin sauce. It was only today after feeling so bad after my lunchtime Pho, that it occured to me that maybe the Pho had something to do with the palpitations and also headaches I'd been having lately. I can't know for sure and I'm only an N of 1, but I don't have a better explanation yet.

I get what you are saying, and your argument is pretty solid since it is based on double blind studies. One theory that you didn't address, that I and many in the nutrition field would like to see tested is based on something you said at the beginning of the video, "most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter." If you intake large quantities of MSG, a concentrated form of glutamate that you are not likely to get naturally, could you get receptor excitation that is not regulated by the body? Because gut absorption of glutamate and receptor distribution varies amongst different individuals, it would explain why some may be effected more than others. Anyway, just a thought, keep up the good work.

In college one winter 30 years ago, a friend made a huge pot of Matzo ball soup, and I must have had a gallon of it. It wasn't my first time to enjoy Matzo ball soup, but I wasn't that familiar with it. I must have been hungry, and it was hot and savory and I really liked it that cold winter night. Afterwards I had to do some geo-chemistry lab work (all microscope work on mineral specimens, no actual "chemicals"), and I got one of the worst case of jitters that I ever had! 😲 Got a little queasy and dizzy. But, next day I was fine. Afterwards I discovered that Matzo ball soup is *loaded* with MSG. I had no idea that there was any MSG in the stuff. So, yeah, a moderate dose of MSG is probably fine for most, but it is possible to get to much of a good thing. 😉 This video taught me that glutamate is an excitory neurotransmitter, which agrees with my experience of getting the jitters.

I love Chinese food and used to eat it all the time- but msg is a real problem for me now. If there is no msg added, I can eat and not have a serious elimination reaction. But add it- to any food, and the reaction is harsh and unfortunate. I am not a hater- I have Chinese in-law relatives- with mixed blood nieces and nephews. I have a nephew who lives in China, is married to a wonderful Chinese woman, and has two children with her. .... I know its the msg, however. So explain that, please!

Greg Belcher, it’s a sad day when you must prove to everyone else you’re not racist against people you happen to be related to, isn’t it? Look into Tyramine, which is a naturally occurring amine present in many fermented foods and is usually found concurrently with MSG due to the fermentation process.

When I first started eating Chinese food I would get a slight headache with a feeling in my neck and jaw like I was getting lock-jaw but I could move fine. I never knew about Chinese Restaurant Syndrome nor MSG until looking into what was happening to me. It is real! Now the restaurants don't use as much MSG so only have an issue once in a while.

"It is likely that MSG has been wrongly linked to effects of histamine and/or tyramine sensitivity. Aged and fermented foods such as those commonly used in Chinese food (like fish sauce and soy sauce) are very high in MSG, but they are also extremely high in histamines such as tyramine, which can cause adverse effects such as migraines and/or hypertension in certain individuals. This is the same thing as the "cheese effect" some people report after eating aged cheese, which is known for inducing strange dreams and/or migraines in certain people. Wine, beer, sauerkraut, aged meats and similar aged/fermented foods also fit into this category and all are common triggers for people with migraines or histamine sensitivity. It has nothing to do with MSG except incidentally, because fermentation or other aging methods are frequently used to create foods that are high in MSG. But pure, isolated MSG should not cause these effects. At least, that's my working hypothesis." - Savant (another commenter)

Aji-no-moto, pure isolated MSG is sold as a condiment and kitchen staple all over Peru, due to the large Japanese colony there who introduced it, as well as an important influence of Chinese and Japanese cuisines on Peruvian food... I grew up with it at home, and today it’s used in lots of recipes as a key ingredient, revered as a “secret” trick for perfect taste, and loved by many... and after ALL the years it’s been around, never have we ever heard of it being bad, of anyone getting sick or being allergic or intolerant, and much less of the so called CRS... 🧐

Vegetables are so easy to over salt and do not taste that great unless I smother them in butter. So, I use msg instead and they are delicious! If you purchase a product from the grocery store that has msg on the ingredients list it is likely junk food or so overloaded with msg that it is a salt substitute. But if you use msg in home cooking you can make a healthy meal that is ten times tastier than bland chicken breast and broccoli
