They could have added a cup of pure cholesterol and a drop of Coconut oil.
We know that adding cholesterol to a diet isn't good. I would be curious to see the results if they only added Coconut oil to a normal diet.
The worse effect on Beagles than on Greyhounds interests me and tells me too that different breeds of dogs may be affected differently.
As I have a natural curiosity to investigate anything that does not make sense to me, I will have bloodwork done on my dogs to see if any changes are evident.
I use both Alaskan Wild Salmon Oil and Coconut oil and/or Coconut Milk. And some benefits of Coconut oil:
Relieves stress on pancreas and enzyme systems of the body.
Reduces symptoms associated with pancreatitis.
Improves digestion and bowel function. |
YOU ROCK can you look the study up as I have the reference number for it as this is why I stopped giving my dd coconut oil as she scared me and she does a ton of research this girl who posted it. I definitely notice a difference in dd since stopping it and I had 2 years I think of blood work on dd no RBC increase at all or cholesterol so derm and jean told me keep giving it but i was too scared and wow this past year was a nightmare so I added back probiotics separately by itself and she is a little better but she was much better on both so after blood work I will add back in coconut oil. I was giving a 1/4 tsp daily after food in am.
