What is the difference between natural glutamate and MSG?
It does not matter whether you select glutamate-rich foods and
ingredients like tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, walnuts, MSG or soy sauce,
the glutamate in each is the same.
Medical specialists have known for decades that your body does not
distinguish between the glutamate found naturally in foods and that in
MSG. In fact, even today=CCs state-of-the-art technology can=CCt separate
them. For example, if you analyzed a plate of spaghetti, you could find
out the total amount of glutamate in the dish. However, since glutamate
is glutamate, there is no way to determine whether the glutamate came
from tomatoes, Parmesan cheese or MSG.

They are saying that there is no difference between glutamate in MSG
and glutamate in meat. If that is true, then how do you explain this?

In many Philippine provinces, as in the rest of Asia, it is not
uncommon for people to eat dogs, after poisoning them with one or two
tablespoons of monosodium glutamate (MSG), placed inside a roll of
bread. The dog salivates, loses consciousness and involuntarily spasms
until breathing stops.

Any reader here who has rudimentary knowledge of chemistry would not need
outside help to answer the questions raised. These guys are fishing for
total ignoremuses to be brainwashed for marketing purposes.

| Hello Bill,
I just got in on the tail end of this thread, but I was wondering if you
might know where there's a comprehensive list of MSG food contents.
So far I've only fouund incomplete data (including parmesan, broccoli, etc.)
Thanks a lot.
