Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Children should avoid consuming MSG as much as possible. MSG is sodium glutamate, which can transform zinc in the blood into zinc glutamate and subsequently excrete it from the body. Zinc is an essential element for the human body. If children lack zinc, they may experience reduced intelligence, slow growth, loss of appetite, and delayed sexual development. Therefore, it is best to avoid giving MSG to children and can use sugar for seasoning instead.
