10 Highly Acidic Foods
Highly Acidic Food #7: MSG
Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, isn’t just found in Chinese food. It’s found in a lot of foods – some of them natural – and when it’s consumed in excess it can cause problems.
That said, MSG isn’t as dangerous as many of us believe. The reason that it’s considered a dangerous compound is because the amounts included in many foods, like Chinese foods, are much higher than we’re able to process properly. Eating excessive amounts of MSG is comparable to eating high amounts of salt. It can cause various problems like headaches, nausea, pain in the muscles, and heart problems.
