Glutamate levels were shown to be high in cancer patients in this study reported in the Oxford Journals. Patients with lung cancer with the lowest glutamate levels had the highest survival rates. They also had the highest cysteine levels. Cysteine - a sulfur containing amino acid - is used to make glutathione as well as taurine - the body's natural water soluble anti-oxidant. This finding suggests that glutamate may interfere with cysteine and glutathione production in the body.
BREAKING NEWS:
January 5, 2009 - Researchers have just discovered the gene involved in breast cancer metastasis. The gene MTDH (short for metadherin) but also known as 3D3, AEG-1, AEG1, LYRIC affects cells susceptibility to glutamate excitotoxicity. This gene is involved in the mestastasis of breast cancer, malignant gliomas, and melanomas. Currently, excessive glutamate neurotoxicity due to MTDH, is believed to cause HIV dementia due to how HIV infection affects the expression of this gene in astrocytes, (AEG-1 stands for Astrocyte Elevated Gene). This gene is considered an HIV inducible gene. More..
November 6, 2008, in the Journal, Nature, researchers from Washington University in St. Lewis report that they have sequenced the genome of a woman who died of leukemia and found 10 mutations - one of which is for glutamate receptors.
From the study, the mutations were:
1 & 2 ) protocadherin/cadherin family members CDH24 and PCLKC (also known as PCDH24)
3 & 4) G-protein-coupled receptors GPR123 and EBI2 (also known as GPR183)
5) a protein phosphatase PTPRT
6) a potential guanine nucleotide exchange factor KNDC1
7) a peptide/drug transporter SLC15A1 and
8) a glutamate receptor gene GRINL1B.
9& 10) previously described, FLT3 and NPM1 genes.
QUOTE: "On the basis of deep readcount data, we determined that all of these mutations (except FLT3) were present in nearly all tumour cells at presentation and again at relapse 11 months later..."
In India, because of a study of 134 people with stomach cancer who were avid consumers of food which contained MSG, The Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Owners of Eastern India (as noted in this India Times article) has asked its members to refrain from using MSG.

maggi from nestle which is a reputed company. so users buy it without any second thought regarding its quality. this is why such products are checked regularly.
other ones might be even more harmful but not checked much as not much users buy it when compared with reputed brand ones.
generally speaking noodles are not a healthy diet, those who eat it regularly replacing usual diet are found to have greater chance of cardiovascular problems. here is one example of another famous brand top ramen noodles.
Study: Eating Instant Ramen Noodles Linked to Heart Disease and Stroke Risk
