Notes:
A study was undertaken to assess the susceptibility of a population of proven reactors to a standard 5g dose of MSG given as part of a lunch-type snack. The study was also designed to test the response to naturally occurring L-glutamic acid in amounts comparable with the test dose of MSG. Results show the latency of symptom onset to be consistently longer when MSG is administered in juice accompanied by a snack. Response rate to snacks containing 5g MSG is significantly lower for high protein, high natural L-glutamic acid and high carbohydrate snacks than for the high-fat snack or MSG administered without a snack. The high-fat snack (also low in bulk) afforded no protection.
