I do not understand or appreciate why the safety section of this article fails to accurately reflect the results of scientific research of MSG, which indicates that MSG's glutamate acts in the same way as glutamate in the brain, which is used to get synapses to pass on information and, when consumed in doses exceeding approximately 10 mg/kg of weight impede memory retention, learning, spatial memory and, indeed, over a long period of time can cause cell damage, dyslipidemia and other problems.ReveurGAM (talk) 22:25, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How many would you like? I listed a small number of the vast array of scientific studies in this article: [Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Messes Up Your Brain](https://steemit.com/msg/@reveurgam/monosodium-glutamate-msg-messes-up-your-brain). If you use Google Scholar, you can find a plentitude of others.ReveurGAM (talk) 22:03, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Addiction - can't stop eating till the bag of chips is empty ?

Isn't glutamate salt responsible for this? I don't have time to look this up. Anybody else? Maybe a link to another article in wikipedia explaining this phenomenon? Thy, SvenAERTS (talk) 13:15, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would remove the quote of the 3 stars chef in 2021 as it's totally irrelevant and unworthy for the history. VincenzoTuri (talk) 13:12, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Safety section has a sentence that starts like this: In a 1993 study, 71 fasting participants were given 5 g of MSG and then a standard breakfast. One reaction (to the placebo,… So I stopped right there to reread it. It says there were 71 participants, who were apparently all given msg, making no mention of a placebo. Then it starts describing a reaction to the placebo. So was that 71 participants to get msg and another 71 to get the placebo? Or (more likely) was it 71 participants who were given 5 g of MSG or a placebo? I tried going back to the cited source but I don't have access. Could somebody with access please clear this up and correct the description? MiguelMunoz (talk) 18:45, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I thought in names like "monosodium L-glutamate" that the "L" was supposed to be rendered in small caps, as in "monosodium L-glutamate"? (But preferably with better encoding for 'true' small-caps.) —DIV
