I get the feeling sea salt is just code word for MSG, umami, glutamine, glutamate, and glutamic acid….  typically when i read about MSG or glutamate or glutamine, there is hostility sensed especially in the food-writing group.

I have nothing against high glutamine/glutamic acid/glutamate foods, i just dont eat them past about 4 pm or i will spend the night awake….  to me it is a stimulant.
