Well being it is added to add flavor anything it is added to.
BTW I noticed you glossed right over the MSG Obese Mouse thing.
Is it because you were flat out wrong or that you didn't understand all the big words?
BTW here is another for you: Study examines how food additive MSG contributes to obesity and liver disease
But keep posting Sparky eventually you may stumble onto being right once!~
It is an excellent flavor enhancer. It is just one of many flavor enhancers the food industry uses in very small amounts. It also occurs naturally. It's what gives a tomato its flavor. It's rife in chicken, shrimp, Parmesan cheese, and many other things I hope you don't eat. That stuff could really be unhealthy for you.
The fact that we get 10 times more glutamate from naturally occurring sources than from added sources makes your fear of it totally irrational. But people fear the things they don't understand. Yeah, I'm talking about you.
I'd be happy to give you a lesson in flavor chemistry, but it would probably hurt your brain. You know, just like when you eat too much MSG.

Clearly, you didn't grasp what I wrote in response to your mindless Googling. Read it again and then I'd be happy to clear up any misunderstandings you have. If you get a chance though, please eat a couple of pounds of MSG every day next week and then let us know how you feel. I'm guessing you're going to feel just like those lab rodents you are so quick to offer up as proof of something. What that something is remains unclear, but to you I'm sure it really means something important.
If you had taken any chemistry, nutrition or biology in whatever passed for "education" in your earlier life, you'd have learned that bad health will result when you continuously overwhelm the body with anything. The only way for a blockhead like you to learn this fact is to experience it for yourself. Now get started on eating all that MSG, and get back to us in a week with a description of how you feel.
