How to remedy excessive MSG

We all know that we should not eat too much MSG. If we add too much MSG when cooking, the dish may become too greasy and difficult to swallow. But we can't bear to throw the food away directly, so we have to continue using it. If we eat too much, it may cause gastrointestinal reactions and even nausea and vomiting. We can solve this problem with some tricks. So, how to remedy the situation if you add too much MSG?

1. Quantify the amount of MSG consumed daily

MSG is very good at enhancing the flavor of food, so people usually add it when making soups. However, if you consume too much, it will not only disrupt the balance of the human body, but also cause dizziness, nausea, and in severe cases, it can cause cancer. However, if the daily intake is maintained at 6 grams, it will not only not harm the body, but also can adjust the taste and replenish the body's sodium ions. For some elderly people and children, this amount can be reduced appropriately.

2. Don’t add MSG at high temperatures

MSG will deteriorate when exposed to high temperatures, producing harmful substances. If we consume too much of it, it will damage the internal organs of the human body. Therefore, when we are frying or cooking, we should not add MSG to the food to avoid the production of toxic substances. We can add MSG to enhance the flavor after frying, which can achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

3. Boiled food with MSG is healthier

When we add MSG when cooking in a pan, not only will it produce toxic substances due to high temperature, but it will also react with the oil in it, and this product is also bad for the human body. So instead of adding MSG when cooking, we might as well add it when making soup. This will not only enhance the flavor, but the large amount of water in the soup will dilute the MSG and the sodium salt in it, which is more beneficial to health.

4. Do not eat with alkaline foods

MSG will produce a harmful substance called disodium glutamate in an alkaline environment. If consumed, this substance can cause liver damage. Moreover, this substance will produce a pungent smell, so we should not add MSG when eating some alkaline foods.
