Glutamic acid.....?

Posted by Meri-Tuuli on March 30, 2007, at 8:12:17

Hey all
What exactly is Glutamic acid? How does it affect the brain, and should I be concerned about eating it in foods? I do like abit of vegemite/marmite, which are good sources of B vitamins.
Marmite for those of you unacquainted with the stuff:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite
"As with other yeast extracts, Marmite contains free glutamic acids"
I've been reading how its got something to do with strokes/GABA and would like to know if anyone knows anything...
Kind regards
Miss Meri
