Can Glutamte Cause Colon Cancer?

Recently my husband was diagoned positive for Colon cancer. We have had a very healthy life style. Eat healthy - no MSGs, no canned or prepacked food, everything made fresh from scratch, and work out everyday with 1/2 marathons couple times a year. Only thing we have had proceesed for 1-2 yrs is a drink with L-Glutamate and I wish we were not introduced to it:( and I read that glutamate can cause and fuel cancer calls:(

There is no concrete evidence to say conclusively that L-Glutamate causes cancer although there is emerging data in favour of the same. However, people will healthy life-styles and good eating habits can also develop colon cancer although their chances are much less. This can be ascribed to environmental pollution and bad genes. But mostly, there is no reason and one shouldnt waste time looking for it. Of course, from now on you should avoid these drinks as well.
