tenny, not that even the "debunking" article you posted does not refute the fact that glutamine an be used efficiently to produce glucose. It merely states that replenishing glycogen after a lifting workout is not important and that glutamine is no more effective at doing do than using carbs (duh!).
Is using glutamine when using slin more effective than simply ingesting more carbs? No! BUT it could allow you to get by without having to consume as much carbs when using slin... you would only turn the glutamine into glucose on a need-to basis.
And while the muscle-building benefits of glutamine are indeed grossly exaggerated, it could potentially have health promoting benefits. Specifically on gut health, reducing acid load and helping the immune system.
