COMPANY B 1 VS. THE TRUTH<br />

(RESPONSE TO COMPANY B’S WEBSITE<br />

CRITIQUE OF WYSONG)<br />

<strong>The</strong> following is a listing of ingredients claimed not to be in Company<br />

B’s foods because they are “unfavorable” for health, according to their<br />

“research” (unidentified):<br />

Company B: “Ground Corn...is a common cause of food allergies<br />

in pets and is not used in (Company B)’s products.”<br />

<strong>Truth</strong> Response: Research has shown that corn is not the “cause” of<br />

allergy, but rather, many allergies result from a compromised immune system<br />

due to singular reliance on so-called “100% complete” foods such as<br />

Company B’s product. 2 Rotating through various foods, some with, some<br />

without corn, is the best preventive and “cure” for allergy. Company B<br />

also ignores the fact that hybrid, high-lysine, hypoallergenic corn varieties<br />

can be used. This also makes their strawman comparisons invalid.<br />

Company B: “Poultry Fat is a byproduct of meat processing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> origin of the contributing animals is never known; the<br />

source can be any fowl (turkey, chicken, geese, buzzard, etc.)<br />

and the resulting oil is very low in linoleic acid... (Company<br />

B) uses high quality Chicken Fat which has the highest levels<br />

of linoleic acid.”<br />
