Chinese salt banned in Pakistan over ‘health hazards’

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

ISLAMABAD: Discovering about the health hazards of popular Chinese salt Ajinomoto during a hearing, Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar has ordered ban on sale of the salt.

The CJP was hearing a suo motu case pertaining to the sale of Ajinomoto or Chinese salt and used cooking oil in the country.

He said the sale of Ajinomoto could not be allowed in view of its health hazards.

In January, Punjab Food Authority (PFA) had banned Ajinomoto after the authority’s scientific panel found it hazardous for health.

Why Ajinomoto is hazardous for health?
According to the findings of the panel, Chinese salt contains monosodium glutamate (MSG) which can cause headaches, fatigue, palpitations, nausea and vomiting, sweating, flushing and numbness of the face, more so among people who are sensitive to it.

It can also cause hypertension and is extremely hazardous for pregnant women, the panel found. The PFA scientific panel recommended banning the usage of Ajinomoto in all eateries, frozen foods, and all other food products.

The authority had issued a deadline of March 31 to bring the use of Chinese salt to a complete halt. Chemically, it is a salt of the amino acid family – Glutamic Acid (glutamate).

Last month, the Sindh government has imposed a ban on import, manufacturing and sale of the same salt after the essential Chinese ingredient was earlier barred in Punjab.

The provincial ministry of interior had issued a notification pronouncing the ban on Wednesday, in concerns that it is hazardous to human health.

No such danger.

I'd take it with a pinch of Himalayan rock salt, if I were you.

Well, don't come near Chinese packed products. Until or unless it very well known Chinese company.

Talk about the problem of salt. I want to know what is the reason, you use 200 tons of feces, kill 16 people, and fry their carrier.

Chinese have longer life expectancy than any of you. Does that speak enough？

If it is unhealthy and there are proofs scientifically then it should be banned.

But somehow i can sense the lobby is activily working against pakistan, china and allies are being targeted internationally. Because our enemy is spreading a small news like a big disaster.

The Ajinomoto or Monosodium Glutamate is the salt of the glutamic amino acid. Our body can also produce it naturally. But when it is created unnaturally outside the body, it becomes harmful to health. It is not clear that is as bad as it is made out to be but:
A study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism suggests, larger ingestion of MSG leads to a greater risk of getting metabolic syndrome – a group of issues such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar , and excess body fat.

it suggests, MSG is “a silent killer that’s worse than alcohol, nicotine, and drugs is likely lurking in your kitchen cabinets and even your child’s school cafeteria.” the FDA identifies MSG as ‘generally recognized as safe’, there happen to be a wide range of reports of unfavorable side effects from MSG consumption more than the years.

Whether it is Chinese or not, that's not the issue! If it is not then its huge mistake on reporting side.

Precisely, MSG is widely used in many dishes whether u know it or not.

It is commonly sold in grocery shops and supermarkets here.

Anyway this article is like a lazy piece of propaganda material out to demonize targetted country.
