I had always thought that there weren't many studies on raw b/c who is going to fund it?  And I still think that's true.  But now that I go on pubmed, I find there are some.  It only takes one aspect at a time into consideration though.  And I'm still not sure how it compares to kibble.     
I think there has to be a vet at a vet school really interested in studying this b/c no profit can be made by the outcome really (same as reducing vaccines).  I just don't see that happening.  The nutritionists at these places seem to already know the answer.  And I think I recall Ellie's nutritionist saying that there are a lot of reports of obstructions, etc. but this is not news in the vet world b/c it is common.  So they talk amongst themselves.  No reason to report it.  It's yesterday's news...  The same goes for vaccine reactions, etc.
