The Skeptvet's book review of Canine Nutrigenomics is a must-read, and addresses Dr. Dodds' faulty writing on the following topics:
(1) GMO's
(2) gluten
(3) raw diets
(4) the Nutriscan saliva test for food insensitivities
(5) bee pollen and raw honey
(6) glycemic index and high glycemic index foods
(7) corn, wheat, and soybeans as dog food ingredients
(8) organic foods for dogs
(9) artificial preservatives, including BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin
(10) fluoride in the water
Plus 23 additional controversies, such as glucosamine/chondroitin supplements, menadione, and vaccines. Please note that not all of these points are critical of Dr. Dodds--the Skeptvet does agree with her on some of these topics, such as fish oils.
The Skeptvet provides many citations of peer-reviewed research to support his critiques. If anyone wishes to discuss any of these topics below, feel free, but please be respectful! |
