There is a thread with the same title "Monosodium Glutamate Intolerance" in the Debates Forum. We will continue our discussions over there.

Everybody thanks for your reactions. I appreciate it very much.

My step-mother is allergic, which rules out Chinese Buffets when she's here. I don't know what happens to her though; she never told me. She's the only one I know of who's allergic to MSG but not a whole plethora of other things.
Hey, on a completely unrelated topic... ..does anybody know where you can get MSG in bulk?

"Obesity
MSG has been used in newborn laboratory mice to induce adult obesity because of the lesions that it provokes in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) of newborn babies doesn't resemble the one of neonate mice, therefore, like in adults, glutamate has a low penetration level in the central nervous system[1]. Only the luminal membrane of the BBB contains facilitative carriers for glutamine and glutamate. In fact, the amount of free glutamate in breast milk is one of the highest among other mammals besides the chimpanzee.
