Remodeling of the rat duodenal wall under the effect of complex food additives of monosodium glutamate, sodium nitrite and ponceau 4r

Abstract

A food additive is any substance that is not normally considered a food product or its component, but is added to a food product for technological purposes in the production process, and finally becomes an integral part of the product. Monosodium glutamate (E 621), sodium salt of glutamic acid, is the most common and widespread flavor enhancer. Monosodium glutamate, consumed in food and drink, has a narcotic effect on the body and does not contain nutrients; it is not a preservative, it is a toxin that excites the nervous system, a chemical that overexcites brain cells, sometimes to complete uncontrol and it deceives the brain. Therefore, the growing use of monosodium glutamate, including for children’s food and some components of some vaccines, is a matter of concern due to potential impact on human health.
