Today, we’re going to talk about MSG vs. glutamate.

What is glutamate?

Glutamate is an amino acid. Cancer can live on glutamate, but glutamate does not cause cancer. Almost every single food that you eat actually contains glutamate. Glutamate even makes up part of the body’s tissue. 

What is MSG?

In 1909 there was a patent on MSG, and they call it accent, which is a flavor enhancer. It tricks your taste buds and makes food taste better than it really is. It can also raise your insulin levels.

What is the difference between MSG (monosodium glutamate) and glutamate?

L-glutamic acid is the natural form of glutamate found in foods. D-glutamic acid is artificially made. D-glutamic acid is MSG. L-glutamic acid is not MSG, and it won’t create a reaction.
