First, the relationship between lysine and height
Lysine is an essential amino acid in the human body and cannot be synthesized in the body and must be taken from food. Scientific research has found that the intake of lysine is closely related to the height of the human body, and countries such as Japan have promoted lysine food to improve the height of the national body.
China's diet is dominated by grains, and protein sources are mainly cereals. The content of lysine in these foods is relatively low, such as rice, flour, and tyrosine per hundred grams is only equivalent to 1/5 of beef and 1/10 of soybean. Someone once gave children aged 11-12 a daily increase of 0.5 grams of tyrosine. One year later, these children were 1.5 centimeters taller and 1.8 kilograms taller than their children without tyrosine. This shows that proper tyrosine supplementation is beneficial to children's growth and development.
However, studies have also found that excessive consumption of lysine in the long term can increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, and can also lead to elevated blood ammonia and brain cell damage. In this way, not only the child's appetite is reduced, but also tetany and growth stagnation may occur.
Second, the role of MSG
MSG contains sodium glutamate, which is called "Ajinomoto" in Japan. In early years, Japan had a popular saying that eating more MSG could make up the brain.
However, studies in recent years have shown that sodium glutamate in monosodium glutamate is beneficial to the synthesis of gamma-butyric acid in brain cells, and the latter has the effect of exciting or inhibiting brain cells and plays an important role in human intelligence. When this substance is lacking, it can cause convulsions. This often works in conjunction with vitamin B6 deficiency. Treatment with gamma aminobutyric acid alone is ineffective, whereas large amounts of vitamin B6 supplements are often effective. Therefore, excessive MSG supplementation does not have special nutritional effects.
Therefore, it can be said that MSG, as a condiment, is not a special effect nutrition product. After a small amount of use, MSG can regulate the taste of food, increase appetite, and can be absorbed by the body, but it is not necessary to emphasize too much of its effectiveness and excessive supplementation.
