Monosodium Glutamate and the Garlic Free Diet

Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, is a sodium salt of the common amino acid glutamic acid. It is naturally occurring in many foods and added to others to enhance their savory or umami flavor. While MSG is a popular ingredient in food manufacturing and cooking, it has been subject to controversy over potential health effects, though scientific evidence for adverse reactions in the general population is limited.
