MSG and acne

MSG is a food additive that is highly advertised and can cause harmful effects such as nausea and dizziness when consumed. For this reason, the general public can play safely and avoid using products that include MSG as much as possible. But what you may not know is that MSG is almost hidden in every processing, packaging, canned or frozen food you can think of - just under the secret name, so we don't know where it is! The truth is that we consume a lot of MSG every day. So how bad is MSG, can it consume acne?

Why is MSG added to food?
from

MSG is a chemical from seaweed that enhances the taste of food. Because it makes food taste better [and cheaper], companies like General Mills, Campbells, etc. add a lot of MSG or monosodium glutamate to our food. This creates a multi-billion dollar industry, and food companies like it.

However, when it was advertised, the large amount of MSG in Chinese food caused stomach pain, cramps, vomiting, headache and dizziness - people were afraid of MSG [they are still]. However, because of fear of losing money because the taste of the food is not attractive, the food company decided to get rid of the word "MSG" and start labeling the exact same chemical with different names. This way consumers will feel that no MSG is added.

Here are a few of the many MSG brands:
from

Glutamate
from

Autolyzed yeast extract
from

Hydrolyzed protein
from

Citric acid
from

Sodium caseinate/calcium
from

Carrageenan

MSG health factor
from

Ok, now we know that MSG can be added to almost all of our food. But is there really any real health risk? Little research has been done on the health effects of MSG, mainly because wealthy companies that benefit from this chemical do everything they can to prevent any further knowledge about the subject. In fact, both lobbyists and authors are paid by food companies to promote positive messages about MSG, and scientists are trying to make dangerous health risks public and are dealing with a wide range of litigation.

Some researchers have concluded that MSG can be responsible for almost every disease - depression, stroke, stomach upset, "fog" head, migraine, numbness, skin disease, fatigue, and even heart attack. These are "MSG extremists" - think that MSG is a big conspiracy.

However, there is absolutely no evidence that monosodium glutamate causes any of these symptoms. If you look at the timetable for MSG to be added to food for the first time in the early 1950s, these health conditions have not increased in the public. Clearly, there is no clear link between MSG and dangerous health complications.

But can MSG cause acne?

The answer is no, maybe not. This chemical does not directly cause acne, but foods that usually contain MSG may. Because foods containing MSG are usually processed, have high sugar content, and lack many nutritional benefits, they force your body to digest them more effortlessly without providing any nutrients. This causes the digestive system and liver to slow down, eventually leading to symptoms such as acne.

So should you worry about the amount of MSG you consume every day? Maybe. If you want to promote healthy skin, the best way is to try to keep healthy fresh foods free of any added chemicals or preservatives. These foods are easier for your body and better for your skin.
