Uncle Roger Slams Ranveer Brar's Take On Ajinomoto: 'Why Giving Fake News?'
Last Updated:
Chef Ranveer while preparing fried rice warned against using Ajinomoto (MSG), saying it is unhealthy for children and may cause "memory loss".
Chef Ranveer Brar, one of India's most celebrated culinary personalities, is admired not only for his exceptional cooking skills but also for mentoring aspiring chefs and creating food-centric films that celebrate his passion for cuisine. Recently, he caught the attention of popular content creator Nigel Ng, better known as Uncle Roger, who reviewed Ranveer's Indian-style fried rice in his trademark humorous and light-hearted style.
While the video was full of jokes and entertaining commentary, one particular moment stood out and is now getting a lot of attention online. In the clip, Chef Ranveer is seen preparing fried rice and warns against using Ajinomoto (MSG), saying it is unhealthy for children and may cause memory loss. MSG, or Monosodium Glutamate, is a common flavour enhancer often used in Chinese cuisine.
He even joked further, 'Who need therapy when you can just forget your trauma?"
The video was captioned, 'Memory loss not always bad thing."

The video gained traction online and accumulated over two million views. The comments section was filled with mixed reactions.
One user jokingly wrote, 'I've been eating MSG since I was kid and still remember my childhood traumas."
Another added, 'One guy 'expert' that went to a Chinese restaurant said he had a headache the day after—and after that, MSG has been vilified."
On the other hand, some users still expressed concern. 'Yes, it does. Unfortunately, it's toxic and it builds up in your brain. It even kills brain cells, and it's harmful in different ways," one comment read.
An individual shared, 'See, I love you, Uncle Roger, but believe me, I would still hesitate to add MSG in my daily cooking. I'm okay consuming it in small portions outside in hotels. This is due to decades of MSG being looked down on in India. Not sure where it started, but it's something we've all grown up hearing."
Towards the end of the review, Uncle Roger praised Chef Ranveer's dish and called it well-made and flavourful. He also shared his thoughts on Indian-Chinese cuisine, saying that he finds it 'interesting" because it brings together Chinese techniques and Indian ingredients in a unique fusion.

Serum Institute of India holds 'Conquer HPV and Cancer Conclave' in Visakhapatnam
Visakhapatnam: Serum Institute of India (SII) held the ' Conquer HPV and Cancer Conclave ' in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, to spread awareness regarding the sexually transmitted infection Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Dr B. Murli Santosh, consultant paediatrician and neonatologist, attended the conclave on Friday. Speaking to reporters, he said, "...Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in Indian women, not only Indian women, across the globe, and annually, as per the statistics, close to 1,00,000 deaths are reported in India." Emphasising the HPV vaccine, he added, "So one thing that the public needs to know is that there is a vaccine by which we can prevent this cancer and which has been readily available for the last 10 to 15 years. But the problem in India is that the awareness among the public... various reasons, cost constraints, or various misconceptions. The amount of vaccinations which the public are getting is very less. Now we are having Indian-made vaccines which are easily available and cost-effective. And once we can effectively vaccinate, this cancer is almost hundred per cent preventable. So, most of the time, we recommend early-age vaccinations, preferably at 9 to 14 years, in which they receive two doses, and at 15 to 45 years, in which they receive three doses. And once they receive the vaccination, most of the time they get 99% to 100% protection against these cancers." Speaking to ANI, Dr R Vidya Rama, professor of obstetrics and gynaecology in Andhra Medical College and the visiting consultant, Medicover Women and Child Hospitals, said, "We have gathered here to talk about HPV vaccination . What are the recent changes in HPV vaccination? Previously this vaccination was advocated for girls to prevent cervical cancer, but now it's been proven that HPV is not only for cervical cancer but also for cancers in men, it is penile cancer, and it is also a cause for anal cancers and oropharyngeal cancers in both men and women." Elaborating on vaccination, Dr Rama said, "So ideally, the vaccination to prevent these cancers should be given before sexual exposure. The best time to take the vaccine is between 9 and 14 years. When the immune response and protection will be maximum, and only two doses would be enough. But, if the girls and boys miss out their vaccination at the age below 15 years, they can take the vaccination even after 15 years. Previously, we had a vaccine made by an MNC only, which is a very effective and safe vaccine, but the only disadvantage with that particular vaccine is costly. Now we have a vaccine, a quadrivalent vaccine, which has been made by the Serum Institute of biggest advantage is we have a vaccine which comes with a very affordable cost that is very important for our country to protect our girls and boys with a vaccine." SII, in collaboration with India's Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), recently developed India's first indigenous gender neutral quadrivalent HPV vaccine, Cervavac. The medical firm is holding a nationwide conclave to spread awareness regarding the vaccine.
