Does Ajinomoto which is used in Chinese food contains anything harmful ingredients or may I know how and from what is this made of?

Question

When you eat items containing MSG or glutamic acid, then the glutamate levels in the blood increases by about 8-10 times. Normally this level should be very low in the blood. Due to this excess level, it causes severe effects.
Monosodium Glutamate commonly known as Ajinomoto is one of the main ingredient of many Chinese food item. Still most of people don?t know its side effects on our health. Children and pregnant woman are more vulnerable to it.
Also the ajinomoto ingredients is an excitatory neurotransmitter. It over stimulates the nerve cells. Excess intake of this ingredient upsets the balance of the neurotransmitter. This imbalance leads to an unhealthy body and also adverse consequences.
