On Delicious Yet Toxic Thai Street Food and Ginger’s Myriad Benefits
Posted by freedomforall 1 week ago to Science
Excerpt:
"For a few reasons, I store in my fridge, when I have a fridge, nearly always a chunk of raw ginger root to gnaw on, then swallow the juice and spit the fibrous husk out — an invigorating, only slightly torturous experience that really opens up the sinus cavities and makes one feel alive.
I usually don’t devote any thought to chewing ginger, as it’s well-developed habit at this point.
But I considered exploring the topic after I arrived in Bangkok after some time away and began to include heavily in my diet street food that is absolutely littered with monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Despite the reams of scientific literature pointing to MSG being a neurotoxin, Thai vendors buy the stuff by the kilo and dump it into basically everything because they believe it tastes aroi (good).
...
It turns out, though, that ginger exerts wildly impressive neuroprotective effects against the ravages of MSG by reducing immune system-mediated inflammation.
...
Unlike the jibby-jab, there is real scientific evidence, not mythology manufactured by Pfizer — which can’t patent ginger (yet) and therefore has no interest in using its scientist prostitutes to produce beneficial findings via rigged trials — that ginger might actually do something for the COVID-infected to reduce hospital stays."

I know people who claim to get upset tummy from MSG, yet not from eating tomatoes which contain a lot. I think I am impervious to MSG but the mention of ginger as an antidote is worth remembering.
Although it is ancient history, I spent 2 years in Bangkok from '67 to '69 while in the Army. Loved all the food. Favorite was chicken fried rice.
(2008, 2009, 2011, 2014 visits) but looking more at Malaysia and the
Philippines to settle. Somewhat easier to get LT visas there than in the
land of smiles, and English is more widely spoken, too.
I love Thai food, too. Tom Kha and Massaman curry are favorites to make.
