Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a food seasoning made from sodium and glutamate, an amino acid derived from glucose, or sugar. Just like how salt is technically Sodium Chloride and water is Dihydrogen Monoxide, common foods and drinks can sound scary and dangerous when it’s spelled out.​ Tons of food you currently eat has msg in it! Like, tomatoes, eggs, mushrooms, cheese, meat or seafood and so much more!
