Monosodium glutamate (MSG) was first invented in Japan in 1908 by a chemist called Ikeda Kikunae. He hoped that this cheap, easy-to-manufacture condiment might encourage people to eat more bland but nutritious foods.
Eventually, this powdered taste explosion, marketed as Ajinomoto, made it into kitchens and dining tables across Japan.
MSG is a flavor enhancer. It beefs up a food’s savory, or umami, taste.
In a nutshell, it’s an amino acid called glutamate combined with regular salt to keep it stable.
The FDA asked the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) to investigate adverse reactions to MSG.
The FASEB stated that adverse reactions could only be possible in people who may have sensitivities and who have consumed more than 3 grams (g) of MSG.
Since a typical serving of food with MSG contains only 0.5 g of MSG, reactions or adverse events are unlikely following typical meals.
Over the years, though, it’s been blamed for headaches, migraine episodes, blindness, convulsions, behavioral problems in children, and more. But there’s no strong scientific evidence that MSG impacts health.
