Do you have a source that you could cite that shows that human breast milk contains MSG? Thanks.

“umami” describes a taste, but the concern is with the chemical properties and effects of MSG on humans, which others have cited as harmful.

“...the term umami was recognized as the scientific term to describe the taste of glutamates and nucleotides at the first Umami International Symposium in Hawaii.[7] Umami represents the taste of the amino acid L-glutamate and 5’-ribonucleotides such as guanosine monophosphate (GMP) and inosine monophosphate (IMP).[8]”
