~~True. I guess nicotine is a good example of this. When delivered directly into the bloodstream (via inhalation or a nicotine patch) it is an addictive stimulant. When ingested orally it is poisonous.~~

Reuters and the Associated Press are probably the most neutral and trustworthy news agencies.

Edit: My bad, they aren't news aggregators, I still highly recommend them, though.

Take a skin-prick allergy test and you"ll have proof.

I would recommend taking a skin-prick allergy test to make sure it isn't anything else causing these symptoms.

The difference is that glutamate is produced by our bodies naturally. Alcohol (Ethanol) is not. It is literally poison to every human, which is why the liver takes a lot of damage when removing it from your body.

Babies are also ingesting large amounts of glutamate when being breastfed. Which is why I believe 99.99...% of glutamate "intolerance" / "allergies" are caused by the nocebo-effect.

I have watched Vinny (Vinesauce) play Hylics. I loved the artstyle and how weird it was.
