DOES FOOD AFFECT HUMANS BEHAVIOR?

: the fact of MSG

Foods are one of humans primary needs in life. Not only humans, but also animals,
plants and other living things. Humans can’t live without foods because they need energies to
continue living their life. But have it’s own benefit. Wether it’s good or not. There are plenty
of foods was made in this world and it’s made to fulfill the needs of living things including
humans.
In my opinion, foods that humans eat might be able to affect their behavior, depends on
what are they consuming and how much they consume the food. First we can take a look from
how much nutrition contains in one food, not the stigma of people. We can take an example of
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). MSG is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, that is, one of the
constituent non-essential amino acids protein found in almost all fruits, vegetables, and meat.
And many people believe that it is able to increase consumer’s mind. In Indonesia many people
have a stygma believes that MSG make people dumb and having a bad behavior. Whereas, the
fact is MSG is 20 times bigger than a cow milk and actually Glutamate has a central role in
various body metabolism, among others as intermediate elements of the metabolism of proteins,
carbohydrates, and fat wich is good in my personal opinion.
So I analyzed that actually it is a myth that MSG doesn’t have a bad impact on humans
behavior, like what people have been believeing in Indonesia. MSG will be just fine if it’s
consumed according to the right measurement wich is maximum 120 mg / kg body weight per
day. So any food that people eat doesn’t really affect their behavior, but they still have to
maintain their nutrition of the food that they consume.
