        "summary": "Sugar and MSG An association of sugar factories has placed a half-page advertisement in Kompas on Nov. 28, page 21, to promote its product with the slogan: \"Tasty thanks to my sugar and healthy without monosodium glutamate (MSG)\". This insinuates that eating sugar is healthier than eating MSG. The advertisement features a well-known cook telling us about the ingredients for \"sweetened gurame-fish with vinegar.\" Fortunately, this is not true that sugar can make the food tasty.",

This insinuates that eating <br>\nsugar is healthier than eating MSG.<\/p>\n<p>The advertisement features a well-known cook telling us about <br>\nthe ingredients for \"sweetened gurame-fish with vinegar.\"<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, this is not true that sugar can make the food <br>\ntasty. The recipe calls for 70 grams of sugar, but also contains <br>\ntomato sauce, salt, soya, a large yellow onion and 500 grams of <br>\nfish-sauce. According to The Journal of Nutrition, the Japanese <br>\nmade fish-sauce contains 1.38 percent acid glutamate. So the <br>\nabove mentioned ingredient has 6.2 grams of acid glutamate, which <br>\nis equal to 7 grams of MSG.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, the delicious cooking is not caused by sugar, but <br>\nbecause it contains salt, tomato sauce, fish sauce and an onion, <br>\nwhich, together contain glutamate. And the fish itself contains <br>\n2.4 grams of glutamate per kilogram.<\/p>\n<p>SUNARTO PRAWIROSUJANTO<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
