In reply to Glutamic acid, posted by Kari on November 10, 2002, at 13:56:34
I think this is one suppliment that can be very dangerous. I have heard the following cited many places:"During a stroke, damaged brain cells release a neurotransmitter called glutamic acid. This glutamic acid causes a chain reaction that destroys more brain cells, releasing even more dangerous glutamic acid. David Schubert, Ph.D., professor of neurobiology at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego indicates that in their studies exposing brain cells to vitamin E in a laboratory seems to shield the cells from the effects of a stroke."
That is from a 'nutrition-sales' website

...but again, I have heard the info many times in many places.Jay
