Dietary consumption of monosodium L ‐glutamate induces adaptive response and reduction in the life span of Drosophila melanogaster

In conclusion, consumption of MSG for 5 days by D. melanogaster induced adaptive response, but long‐term exposure reduced life span of flies. This study may therefore have public health significance in humans, and thus, moderate consumption of MSG is advocated by the authors.
