Al-Marsad Newspaper: A clinical nutrition consultant, Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Othman, revealed the effect of “flavored salt or flavor enhancer” on growth hormone, short stature, or autism.
Al-Othman said, during his speech on the “Ya Hala” program on the Gulf Rotana channel, that short stature occurs as a result of various effects, including staying up late, because growth hormone is secreted between 10 am and 4 am.
He added, “This substance contains two parts, salt, and glutamate, which is a natural amino acid, but it has been proven that its excess affects the thyroid glands, growth hormone, hyperactivity, and autism.”
He concluded: “Increasing this substance may not lead to autism, but it does increase its symptoms, because autism consists of nerve messages.”
