How is MSG harmful to dogs?

MSG is classified by the FDA as an excitotoxin, a dangerous neurotoxin that shrivels and kills brain cells and has been linked to causing seizures, migraines, heart palpitations and even cancer, amongst it's many symptoms.... in people! Never mind your dog, YOU should be avoiding MSG! It's definitely one of things you should not feed a dog, but MSG isn't something you eat straight out the bag like potato chips. It's an ingredient in MANY human foods, and probably pet foods (MSG goes by 40 different names!). Unless the dog (or person) happens to be sensitive to MSG, eating something that contains MSG probably won't do any harm, though it's best avoid potentially harmful substances, both in foods we give to our pets, and for ourselves.

Why do health advocates publish literature that villifies MSG?

Typically because the literature published by MSG detractors goes too far in speculating the effects of MSG on humans based on sketchy evidence. Studies which look at MSG in vitro on a petri dish or in lab animals might suggest the possibility of a negative effect in humans, but it's unfair to conclude from animal and in vitro studies alone that MSG is dangerous for humans. A small percentage of the populous may exhibit an allergic reaction to MSG, but other than that and the possibility of weight gain due to MSG's flavor enhancing properties (people may eat more MSG-coated junk because it tastes better), current scientific evidence has found no increased risk of any disease or condition in humans due to consumption of modest quantities of MSG allowed in foods today. That being said, MSG is by no means a health food, a nutrient, or in anyway essential. Foods which have MSG added are typically high in saturated fat, hydrogenated oils, processed sugar, salt, enriched wheat flour and are low in fiber. So even MSG being non-dangerous would not be incentive enough to start consuming most of the products that contain MSG. Always assign a reasonable level of skepticism when reading any claims that a product is dangerous. You can find dozens of "anti-" everything sites out on the web, anti-MSG,anti-soy, anti-milk, anti-aspartame and so on. The actual evidence to support most of these sites claims is usually speculatory at best, dead wrong at worst. The sites may cite valid studies, but then draw conclusions which greatly extrapolate on the results.

If you put this product on your bare tongue with nothing else and the flavor seems "too good to be true," all by itself, chances are it has MSG in it.
