Glutamate buildup may be key factor in mental exhaustion

Is there a chance you are sensitive to the sodium part of MSG?

I believe that, in addition to the blood pressure issues some people have, some react quite strongly to higher salt levels in food.

I eat salt regularly, so probably not, and I can eat other (softer) cheeses, and I can eat potato chips but not flavored ones with MSG (this was actually how I discovered MSG might be a trigger). So I am very confident that it has to do with glutamate.

OK, fair enough. It was just something I was pondering.
