tiredofsametab,

eh, n=2 isn't enough to make me worried.

tiredofsametab,

Glutamates, the G in MSG (the S just being sodium and the M 'mono' meaning one), appear naturally in all kinds of things. Seaweed (from which MSG was originally isolated, IIRC), tomatoes, cheese, meat, etc. I've had the displeasure of swallowing my own blood before, but I'm not sure savory or umami is how I would describe it.

I think the metallic taste of blood is because of the heme (as in hemoglobin) which involves iron. I've never accidentally added enough MSG to have it taste metallic.
