Is there/what is the difference between "Sodium L-Glutamate" and "Monosodium Glutamate"?

The chemical properties are the same, but the way they are marketed and consumed is different. MSG is a food additive, popularly marketed as a "flavour enhancer". In its pure form, it appears as a white crystalline powder; when dissolved in water (or saliva) it rapidly dissociates into free sodium and glutamate ions (glutamate is the anionic form of glutamic acid).

Sodium L-Glutamate, the supplement, has the following characteristics: * Glutamine is one of the most abundant amino acids found in the skeletal muscles. * Glutamine plays a pivotal role in the nitrogen balance in the body. * Prolonged high-intensity exercise has been shown to decrease glutamine levels, which may result in glutamine deficiency.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
