The truth of the matter is that the glutamic acid found in unprocessed, unadulterated food and in the human body is composed of one form of a single amino acid, L-glutamic acid, and nothing else. In contrast, the processed free glutamic acid used in processed food is always composed of two forms of glutamic acid (L-glutamic acid and D-glutamic acid) and a variety of other chemicals commonly referred to as contaminants. 2, record 1, English, - D%2Dglutamic%20acid
