MSG has certain harm to human body, because excessive consumption of MSG can easily lead to an increase in amino acid content in human blood, and affect the absorption of nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. In the long run, it may lead to a lack of nutrients such as calcium in human body, resulting in malnutrition. Secondly, MSG contains glutamic acid components, and excessive consumption can easily cause dizziness, brain swelling, palpitation, shortness of breath and other symptoms, which may also affect sexual function and lead to body weight gain. Therefore, it is recommended to put MSG in an appropriate amount when eating at ordinary times.
