> Thanks sregan...those are some great links. I'll have to read through them a few times to get what they're saying though. I guess I'll have to throw out the 5 lbs of whey protein I just bought (because the glutamic acid is bad, right?).
MM, No don't do that. Correctly you don't want to add extra Glumatic acid or Aspartic Acid to your diet. In the case of taking protein you have the Blood-Brain-Barrier competition factor. When you have many aminos trying to cross the BBB you're not going to get a flood of any given amino. The smaller onces like glycine should cross easier.
I've gotten in the habit of taking a glutamate blocker before my protein. I take one before I eat any restaurant food also. These are Taurine, Magnesium, Lysine, Zinc and Theanine. They block glutamate in one way or another.
