should I eat it? I went to a different Asian market after I noticed this and and the same product didn't have that warning on it.
a Japanese foreign exchange student had me try some her parents sent her once and it was really good. they're just seasoning packets for rice soup. couldn't harm me that much, can it? doesn't Japan have regulations for contaminated food?

Yeah eat it, HFCS is cancerous and that's not banned.
>Monosodium Glutamate
>Disodium Inosinate
>Disodium Guanylate
Yeah, now you know why the warning is on there
>known to the state of california
probably nothing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disodium_inosinate#Toxicology_and_safety
>A review of literature by an FDA committee found no evidence of carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, or adverse effects on reproduction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disodium_guanylate
>However, the typical amounts found in food are generally too low to produce significant side effects.

Red meat and processed meat cause cancer too, so what, you will give up on steaks?

Japan likely has the highest food standards in the world.
Look at a crowd if Japanese people, then a crowd of people from California, tell which looks more deformed.

basically copy pasting from the last time I responded to this

>trace amounts of mercury
could have some merit, but notice how the article doesn't mention worrying about the mercury itself, just a warning for people with zinc deficiencies

cardiovascular disease claim seems to have some merit. there are way too many papers to sift through, but I'm willing to bet that's just because it's sugar, and not anything unique about fructose
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24808490
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25099546
sucrose and fructose both similarly don't affect the liver
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23872500
fructose and glucose do the same to the liver
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23724887
again
most articles are just about "sugar sweetened beverages" rather than specific types of sugar, but it's pretty well known that added sugar contributes to type 2 diabetes and obesity since they're related, whether it's cane sugar or hfcs. we consume way too much sugar which is obvious from looking at that infographic you posted

msg is harmless. the bad rap it has comes from a health scare in the 70s when a guy had an allergic reaction after eating at a chinese restaurant. and then some scientists ran a test where they injected an excessive amount of msg that should have been given to a horse into a mouse, which killed it. neither of these incidents prove anything, and since then other controlled tests attempting to trigger the symptoms the chinese restaurant syndrome guy experienced haven't worked. not to mention it's naturally produced from fermenting starch or beets or sugarcane, and it is also naturally occurring in many vegetables and cheeses.
>>51180888
you must not be from california, that warning doesn't mean jack shit
