Jakarta –
When cooking, additional ingredients or spices are needed to make it taste more delicious. But unfortunately, some spices are actually dangerous, such as 5 spice This.
Many people prefer food that is full of spices and rich in flavor, especially Indonesians who are used to spicy and savory foods.
Usually food with a strong taste is obtained from the use of several additional ingredients or spices. Not only natural spices, but also spices or other flavoring ingredients that are chemically processed.
This process apparently poses a health risk. Just in case, summarizes the Times of India (07/09), identify 5 food spices that are often found in many foods and are potentially dangerous.

This type of flavoring is most often used in food, especially if you buy food from outside. Many restaurants add seasoning in the form of MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) to make it taste more delicious.
These additives have effects related to weight gain and metabolic syndrome. Many people also link MSG to brain function. They think that eating too much micin can make you stupid.
This is actually related, but there is no scientific basis for mentioning the negative effects of MSG, as revealed by Harry Nazarudin as the author of Kimiasutra in the Balado Class (30/08).
However, Harry Nazarudin stated that eating too much micin can cause several effects such as dizziness, tingling or nerve-related diseases.
