It occurs in virtually all protein containing foods including meats, fish, vegetables and dairy products. Various cheeses, tomatoes, peas and mushrooms are among the foods richest in glutamate. Glutamate from our diet is a source of energy for the digestive system, and the human body itself produces around 48 grams of glutamate every day. Glutamate is found in abundance in mothers' milk, at levels about ten times that found in cows' milk. The glutamate naturally present in food and the glutamate derived from MSG are treated by the body in exactly the same way.yay! we found out some more. lol. now we really understand what MSG is about. -.-"
