A Whole-Food, Plant-Based Diet Is Not a Diet of Vegetables. You may have heard that people living this way eat lots of spinach, kale, and collard greens, and that this is, in fact, the primary basis for many of the meals. You may even think we live only on leafy and raw vegetables.
The good news is the science proving MSG is dangerous is out there, and Iâve collected a lot of here for you. Research on the dangers of MSG continues to mount, albeit slowly. Some contend that funding for such projects is inevitably sparse.
For the most part, MSG is glutamate. Monosodium glutamate is just glutamate with a sodium molecule attached to it. In your stomach those two molecules dissolve and youâre just left with glutamate in your gut. Glutamate that comes from your food, MSG, or other sources all ends up as the same thing in your body. So most of the health issues surrounding glutamate have to do with the health issues surrounding glutamate intake, and whether too much of it is bad for you.
