@WillRobert2 @Gensaztiga1 @AriesTerron Cuál vapulear? En la revisión dice que el glutamato monosodico si le afecta a las mujeres y también a hombres cuando se ingiere de más sin llegar a "megadosis". En este del 2025, aunque lo considera seguro a bajas dosis, el consumo frecuente es toxico. https://t.co/UukOedpImZ

Aunque algunos nutriólogos pro comida chatarra o dieta flexible consideren que el glutamato monosodico es inocuo. La ingesta frecuente (a bajas dosis) si podría causar daños en corazón, hígado, riñón y sobre todo se desaconseja consumirlo en el embarazo. https://t.co/ZA5WJaDgha

グルタミン酸ナトリウムの多量の長期摂取と催奇形性、心毒性、肝毒性、腎臓毒性、生殖毒性との関連が訴えられています。 催奇形性というのは胎児に奇形を生じさせるものです。妊婦の方は多量の使用は注意されたほうがいいかと。 https://t.co/zIspKgJaMW
