"How is the chemical composition of added glutamate different from naturally occurring glutamate?"

Again nice straw man.

Never said it was. The problem is it is added to things that taste like crap and that is loaded with crap that is bad for you.

Oh and this: "Scientists don't feed rodents MSG to make them fat..."

Reduced norepinephrine turnover in mice with monosodium glutamate-induced obesity

Atorvastatin improves insulin sensitivity in mice with obesity induced by monosodium glutamate

EFFECTS OF MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE-INDUCED OBESITY IN MICE ON CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM IN INSULIN SECRETION

In this paper, we analyzed the role of IL-1 in maintaining body weight because IL-1 receptor antagonist-deficient (IL-1Ra-/-) mice, in which excess IL-1 signaling may be induced, show a lean phenotype. Body fat accumulation was impaired in IL-1Ra-/- mice, but feeding behavior, expression of hypothalamic factors involved in feeding control, energy expenditure, and heat production were normal. When IL-1Ra-/- mice were treated with monosodium glutamate (MSG), which causes obesity in wild-type mice by ablating cells in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, they were resistant to obesity

Anti-obesity effect of CL 316,243, a highly specific β3-adrenoceptor agonist, in mice with monosodium-l-glutamate-induced obesity

Type 2 diabetes mellitus was induced by monosodium glutamate in obese mouse model

Well I think we have figured out that you know exactly two things about the subject...

Jack and Shit...

But thanks for playing...

Be specific, what is it added to that tastes like crap?

Since glutamate is essential for human survival, and you get ten time more glutamate from natural sources than from added sources, please explain to us how the addition of a small amount of MSG to our food supply is detrimental to our health? Before you reply, please engage your brain.....and remember, you consume 10 times more glutamate from natural sources than gets added to food.

Your links are funny. It's like you just found out that when you cram lab animals with chemicals that have absolutely no relationship to real world consumption that bad things happen. If you overwhelm the body with anything, bad things follow. Scientists do this and then marvel at the resulting negative health results. It is a proven method for attracting grant money, but it does nothing to advance scientific knowledge.

Try eating 2 lbs of MSG every day for a month and let me know how you feel. But what person in the real world, or in their right mind, eats straight MSG? Try it with NaCl or table sugar, and then tell us about your health. You can die from drinking too much water, but water is good for you, right?

One thing we know for certain is that you are a moron. There's nothing wrong with being a moron, but the problem with you is that you don't realize it.
