The second makes no mention of glutamates; rather, it's about ketogenic diets (a well-known strategy for managing epilepsy), which tend to be higher in glutamates (cheese, nuts, meats, &c). There's evidence that ketogenic diets alter brain metabolism of glutamate, but that's not the same thing as evidence that dietary intake of glutamates has an impact.
