Visit^^AJINOMOTO & YAKULT Factory!

last week, my friend and I went to Ajinomoto Factory. a very first experience^^yeah~there are so many things that we learn there.

 The shocking Truth About MSG:

• MSG causes hair loss? ans: there are no evidence for this claim. Hair loss problem maybe caused by several factors namely genetic, stress, changes of hormone, structural hair defects and medication.
• MSG causes thirstiness? ans: thirstiness may be due to the excess of salts in foods. If sodium, the major component in salt excess, thirstiness will naturally result. Certainly MSG contains sodium. However, MSG contains only 12% of sodium whereas table salt contains 40% and the amount of MSG used for cooking can be far less than salt. Thus, the thirst-response to MSG is less than that to salt. So, beware of salt because it can cause hypertension!!
• MSG is a chemical? ans: MSG is produced from natural ingredients such as tapioca or sugar cane through fermentation, a process where used in making "tapai", soy sauce, vinegar and yogurt.
• MSG cause migraine? ans: There is no specific evidence on this claim. The exact cause of migraine is not fully understood. There are many theories about the causes such as heredity, neurology brain disorder etc.
• The more we put MSG, the better taste we will get? ans: Not true!! Only a small quantity of MSG is needed to achieve optimum taste. Further addition of MSG will result in a decline of food patalability and cause wastage. Yeah. this is gonna be true because i had experience about it. I put a lot of MSG when I cook last time. OH MY. u know what. my food is horrible!haha. even, my cat did not dare to eat the food that I cooked.
