MSG intake linked to obesity and metabolic syndrome: An international team of researchers investigating the links between monosodium glutamate (MSG) and obesity and metabolic syndrome in mice have suggested that the food additive may be 'a critical factor' in the initiation of obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Writing in the Journal of Medicinal Food, the team detailed findings from research in mice which they may suggest that MSG plays a role in the onset of obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (referred to as NASH) by decreasing metabolism rates "and that the calorie intake is capable of influencing its progression without affecting the degree of obesity in our animal model."
