[quote=APAULT,37718]I quote from an internet source as confirmation of something Korean friends had told me: 'Monosodium glutamate in the form of a dried seaweed (Kombu) has been used for thousands of years in East Asian countries.' I wouldnt worry too much about a small amount of msg in my food. Some Chinese dishes have a high quantity of common salt (sodium chloride). It is an essential requiremnt for health of humans and most animals, but in excess it can lead to hardening of the arteries, strokes and heart attacks. However, the average intake of salt is between 9g and 10g a day. UK experts estimate that if average consumption of salt was cut from 9g to 6g a day it would prevent 70,000 heart attacks and strokes a year in the UK. .[/quote]
