    No, you're wrong. All MSG/glutamate is the same, it all acts the same way in the body. ALL "manufactured" MSG is made from natural sources, it's not chemically synthesized in a lab or something. The body cannot differentiate between a sprinkle of Accent or the natural glutamate in a tomato because there IS no difference!

      Well I don't have the scientific documentation ON ME at the moment... but I would think it would be a safe bet to say that the molecular construction of a Mono-Sodium-Glutamate molecule, and the molecular construction of a naturally-produced glutamate molecule found in nature MIGHT be completely different.

      Wouldn't you agree?

        As far as I know, to the body they're indistinguishable and they are metabolized EXACTLY the same.

            Plenty, and everything I've ever read said MSG is indistinguishable and is metabolized exactly the same as a natural glutamic acid. I've NEVER read anything to the contrary.
