Monosodium Glutamate or MSG is naturally present in various food items such as mushrooms, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and soy sauce. It has a unique taste that is different from salty, sweet, sour or bitter. The taste is described as ‘meaty’ or ‘savory’. Excess consumption of MSG promotes sluggishness in the body. It may also cause headaches, nausea, increased thirst and a twitching sensation in the mouth. In some cases, one may feel numbness, skin rashes and excessive sweating too. Artificial MSG is added by noodles manufacturers to enhance the taste of their tastemaker masala. Also, noodles contain lead beyond the permissible limit (the permissible limit of lead ranges between 0.01 ppm and 2.5 ppm).
