Glutamic Acid
Monosodium glutamate |
Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a
salt of the amino acid glutamic acid, is
used as a flavor enhancer in foods. Some
individuals experience adverse reactions
to this compound, but a 1995 FASEB study
found no evidence that it causes
neurological damage when consumed in the
small amounts typical for food usage.
