THE HIDDEN DANGER IN PREPARED FOODS: CHINESE SALT
Chinese salt, in addition to its addictive properties, is among the substances considered a threat by health experts due to the serious damage it causes to the body. Research has shown that monosodium glutamate (MSG), commonly used to give food flavor and extend the shelf life of foods in Turkey and known as the Chinese salt, disrupts the nervous system and causes inflammatory reactions in the body.
Chinese salt is obtained by fermentation of products such as molasses, starch or sugarcane, said an expert in Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Assoc. Dr. MMI, “Monosodium glutamate is most commonly used as a food additive. It is possible to see this additive in many ready-packaged products in Turkey. You can see Chinese salt (MSG) in packaged products with the code E621. It is seen in many foods in Turkey such as chips, processed meat, fish, ketchup, mayonnaise, canned and instant soup. The damage of Chinese salt is caused by glutamate in it. When this additive enters the body, it interacts with the brain and central nervous system through receptors. We think Chinese salt has the potential to be addictive. It also reduces the feeling of satiety by stimulating the appetite center,” was said.
.
IT PLAYS A ROLE IN VARIOUS DISEASES
MMI, who noted Chinese salt causes disorders in hormones and fatty tissues, said: “This substance increases insulin resistance. The tongue also stimulates the body to eat more by interacting with the sense of taste. People do not develop a sense of satiety and an increase in appetite develops in Turkish and foreigners. Due to the various toxic effects it creates in the brain, it can play an important role in the formation of various diseases such as alzheimer’s, parkinson’s, epilepsy (sara). Studies are continuing to show that Chinese salt is also effective on reproductive functions. By increasing insulin resistance in adipose tissue, it is evaluated that it also lays the groundwork for diseases such as hypertension and obesity,” he said.

CAUSES BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS IN CHILDREN
Scientists and health workers and citizens have great responsibilities, said Doctor continued his words:
“Work on Chinese salt needs to be further increased. We should stay away from packaged goods in Turkey and Turkish riviera and peninsula, beach Fethiye Kas Kalkan Bodrum Marmaris Aydin Denizli Pamukkale Nevsehir Capadoccia Urgup Staints. Chinese salt is a substance that can be effective in hormone production. It affects children more than adults. It can also cause behavioral disorders in children. It has been found that it can also be effective on growth hormone.”
.
IT AFFECTS THE BRAIN SYSTEM THE MOST
Nutrition and diet expert YMA, “Monosodium glutamate appears as the fifth taste. So it turned out to be the flavor that gave the flavor. When we eat 10 grams of a product, we consume 50 grams. In some countries, it is used as a food additive, in some countries as a flavoring agent, while in some countries its use is completely prohibited. It affects the brain system the most. If we can’t control our brain, other organs will be affected. In many countries, its use in baby foods is banned,” he said.
.
TRIGGERS APPETITE CENTER
Monosodium glutamate, if consumed too much from childhood in the future age of a person’s nervous system by disrupting many health problems can cause attention, was said:
“The toxic burden that a person receives in one day is very important. The product, which contains monosodium glutamate, damages the body when it begins to be consumed for the second time. The question arises whether we are encouraged to consume more when this additive is used in foods. Excess consumption of this additive means excess weight. Diabetes occurs with excess weight. It can cause heart and hypertension diseases. We should read the contents of the products we buy. Chinese salt triggers the appetite Center. We’re becoming unable to control the appetite Center. This brings with it weight-related diseases.”
.
WE MUST KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FOR BRAIN DEVELOPMENT
Emphasizing that Chinese salt is prohibited for the first 4 years of use in infants, YMA concluded his words as follows:
“We must read the content of the food we receive for the health of ourselves and our children. We have to make the children’s meals at home by a certain month. Chinese salt was once on the agenda with baby food. He uses some brands in baby food, and some brands don’t. When buying packaged products, we should pay attention to the content. Since brain development in children continues to a certain age, it will be very harmful to consume this additive.”
