The-Truth-About-Pet-Foods

Truth Response: There is not a shred of evidence anywhere that “Dogs
are 11% trace minerals and 4% vitamins.” Isn’t there a little fat and
protein there, too
Company A: “As the arsenate passes through, it takes the arsenic
out with it. So the arsenic is not absorbed.”
Truth Response: Arsenate is not an antidote for arsenic poisoning.
Arsenate is a potent toxin used in pesticides and as a preservative. It also
induces cancer. Arsenic, on the other hand, is at low levels beneficial to
health. 1
Company A: “If you look under a microscope at a molecule of
whole blood and a molecule of chlorophyll, there is only one
atom difference.”
Truth Response: Whole blood is not a molecule. It is millions of molecules.
2 Don’t bother looking for a molecule since such cannot be seen
with the naked eye using a microscope. Would you trust someone to
draft your will who had not learned the alphabet, a plumber who did not
understand the difference between water or electricity, or a surgeon who
thought heart removal would cure high blood pressure Why entrust your
pet’s health to those who do not know elementary science And, incidentally,
chlorophyll differs from hemoglobin by more that one “atom.” 2
Company A: “The processing of (Company A’s product) takes
place in Scotland. We no longer get our kelp from Norway
since the Chernobyl meltdown. The meltdown caused radiation
contamination.”
Truth Response: If Chernobyl contaminated Norway (Is this where
Chernobyl is), what’s so clean about Scotland, a close neighbor
Company A: “They say they use Vitamin E (tocopherols) as a
preservative. But that lasts only 30 days.”
