MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original(原先的) taste and colour. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions(反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat(心跳).It was also reported that MSG excited a person’s brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders(神经紊乱).In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG.
Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels(标签) by using different names. If you see “natural flavorings”,“hydrolyzed protein”and “spices” in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to “report” MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food.
To protect people’s health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.

made a small cooking fire, placed his pot on it, and poured in some water. When a few villagers asked
what he was doing, he said that he was making stone soup which was a recipe passed down from his
father. He then dropped (扔) a round stone into the pot.
Then the traveler told the villagers stories of his travels and the exciting things he’d seen. He tasted
(品尝) his soup and said it was nice, but a bit of salt would be better. One villager went home and came
back with some salt for the soup.
A few more villagers stopped to see what was going on when they heard the traveler speaking. The
traveler told more stories and said that some carrots or onions would be nice to the delicious soup. So
another villager said he could give a few carrots and brought them from his home.
This continued with the traveler asking for onions, a bit of meat, celery (芹菜), potatoes to the soup.
Finally, the soup was OK and everyone enjoyed the tasty meal.
