It's not.
>>
>>76713945
It literally isn’t unless you consume huge quantities and/or have other glaring flaws in your diet.
>dude my only “hydration” is soda and I’m deficient in nearly every micronutrient but one time I ate Chinese food and got a headache, this ingredient with a weird name must be deadly poison!
>>
It's actually good for you.
But this is an evil world, and big pharma wants to kill you with bad advice.
Why would something that your body craves, and have satiety receptors for, be bad for you?

Some other controversial claims of western food science:
>beef is "bad" for you
>seed oils are good for you. Yep McDonalds is totally healthy.
>>
>>76713997
I wish I could afford beef
>>
>>76713945
Did you just post a deodorant stick?
>>
>>76713997
Also the entire fat is worse than sugar debacle.
>>
>>76714092
lol
>>76713945
isn't this a run of the mill spice blend? i was unaware it has msg if it does
>>
Accent isn't bad, but I prefer to use seasoning that has msg mixed instead of the pure stuff

>>76714092
That looks nothing like deodorant.
>>
>>76713997
>Why would something that your body craves, and have satiety receptors for, be bad for you?
Yeah bro, for sure, heroin is great for you.
>>
>>76714092
>Accent
heh
>>
>>76714104
Your body doesn't crave heroin
>>
>>76714113
Your body doesn't crave monosodium glutamate.
>>
>>76714116
You doesn't need msg itself, but you need glutamate, which msg has. You don't need seasoning to get it though, msg naturally occurs in cheese, mushroom, and tomato.
>>
>>76714132
I'm glad we agree that your body doesn't crave monosodium glutamate.
>>
It's not, you just need to consider that since it's also a source of sodium, if you're using it as a seasoning, then you be aware of the amount of salt you use
>>
>>76714137
Retard
>>
>>76714132
You want to breathe some O?
Why not breathe H2O?
You'll get the same amount of O... AND you'll get 2 parts of H, too! That's 3-for-1!!!

Chemicals!
>>
>>76714149
Sorry you're so upset.
>>
>>76713997
MSG isn't salt. Big Pharma has never said MSG is bad. Ironically it's the wellness supplement selling industry that says it's bad.

>beef is "bad" for you
Saturated fat is bad for you and red meat is linked to a lot of cancers.
>seed oils are good for you
Maybe not "good" for you, but definitely the fat associated with the best health outcomes.

>Why would something your body craves be bad for you?
What kind of fucking retarded logic is this? Your body craves cake, your body craves alcohol, your body craves meth. "listening to your body" is the most retarded Facebook mom science shit around.
>>
I put msg in my water today and it tastes like shit
>>
>>76714177
Kys moxyte
>>
>>76714152
Not the same at all. It's just one way to get a nutrient, it's no different than eating fat so your body can break it down into the fatty acids that you need.
>>
>>76714183
But when you add it to steak or slow cooker or stir fries, it makes food taste amazing.

It's literally the umami flavor you crave from cheese, mushrooms and tomatos.

Seriously dropping some of this on a seared bloody steak just brings out some amazing flavors.
>>
>>76714177
Garbage takes across the boards. Kys
>>
>>76713945
It isnt bad but fat people blame everything but the sheer volume of food they consume on health problems.
>>
>>76714314
Stop using the term literally figuratively.

Is this like Star Trek: MSG?
The Iron Chef "food battle" where including MSG is cheating!
>THAT'S NOT FAIR! It tastes WAY BETTER because you put COCAINE in it!!!!!
>Of course he'll win!!!

And then Centrum Vitamins is all
>DUDE
>You can't be, like, all happy about what you eat!
>You'll stop buying our vitamins and mineral placebos!
>MSG is suuuuuuuuper bad for you!

And then China Wok restaurant is all
>I'm glad we don't have to tell customers what's in our Orange Beef meal!

Seriously, "orange beef" Chinese food dish meal is fucking GREAT. I LOVE orange beef.
>>
MGS is a fantastic game though?

>why is monosodium glutamate bad
it's bad in large quantities because there's no mechanism to limit biological response to it. the small amounts you get in seaweed or whatever can be handled by the body.

for instance it can produce excessive reactive oxygen species in cells which subsequently increases the need for antioxidant action and eventually promotes disease
>>
>>76714559
They got rid of the main serpentile ingrediant in Bi-MGS, though, so I dunno if they're allowed to call that a seroquel.
>>
>>76714597
Dude!
Medicine is REAL!?
>>
>>76714597
It's literally just a sodium and glutamate bound together, and dissociates in water into a sodium and glutamate.

It's LD50 shows it is safer than table salt.

Glutamate is the most abundant amino acid, composing like 20% of all protein intake.

Extremely safe compound.

You're falling for the big pharma fear mongering, by the same people promoting seed oils and GMOs.
>>
>>76714625
that doesn't explain the reactions people have to it
>>
>>76714658
Are you talking about Chinese Restaurant Syndrome? That's just a food intolerance, like people who can't drink milk because of lactose
>>
>>76714658
detox reactions
glutamate is used to make glutathione
plus the liver uses it in several detox pathways

the reactions go away when you consume it regularily

it's like how if someone has never fasted they will get very painful detox symptoms, but after going through that a few times they will get minimal detox symptoms from fasting as their body gets cleaner
>>
>>76714104
But it makes you feel bad after abusing it.
>>
>>76714658
People have reactions to peanuts man

I did Heroin once. It was the best feeling I ever had in my life, MY GOD.

Detox is not a meme.
The liver consumes 25% of the bodies calories, and nearly all of its energy is spent on detoxing.

>>76714679
Right, just like MSG.

>>76715263
I don’t need you to yes man my posts

beef != Saturated fat. It's like 40% monounsaturated, 45% saturated, and 5% polyunsaturated. This is something both vegans retards and carnivore retards both get wrong. The only concentrated sources of saturated fats are tropical oils like coconut and palm, but the fatty acid composition is different from that of the saturated fats found in meat.
>>
>>76713945
in moderation it's not bad.
it's easily filtered by the body, as long as you're not dumping it on your food.
>>
>>76718031
You have a point but those percentages dont add up to 100
>>
>>76718024

How the fuck is bulking not already easy to you?
