Well, at least it sounds like D would prevent damage caused by glutamates, huh?It's part of the puzzle, but sensitivity to glutamates is more likely to be related to deficiencies in taurine. Taurine is formed from sulphur-aminos, so taurine deficiency may indicate oxidative stress. Luckily, taurine is super inexpensive. I can counteract MSG problems (I'm really sensitive) with a small dose of taurine (1-2 grams).
