When looking for the side effects on glutamte I found many different opinions... many people seem to have some side effects, but only in the West... In Asia glutamate is used abundantly and no side effects are reported there...
Is it a Western disease ?
Is it a disease at all ?
Many government sites claim it is safe. Also non American reputed universities claim it is safe (see for example www.food-info.net/uk/intol/msg.htm and links from there). Can we believe this, and other, university sites ? And if so, what is the 'truth' about glutamate ?

msg is one of the best researched food additives there is, and there are studies in both ways, some show an effect some show none. there was however a double blind clinical study done on people who claimed to have negative reaction to msg (in a survey) and they found no difference to the control group. I'll see if I can find that one again.
conclusion: some people might have adverse effects but most don't .. its nothing else than a amino acid in the end (plus the sodium).
