I don't see how the study cited supports the statement, “Some folks recommend that high-carb pet foods and raw food not be mixed in a single meal because gastric acidity on a high-carb diet is not sufficient. They are right about carbohydrates lessening gastric acidity.”
From my understanding, the study found the exact opposite. In the summary it says that the study found that the
acidity of the gastric contents remained low for a longer time after the meal containing the higher protein content.
Furthermore, even if it found that the carbs lowered gastric acidity, the study is about protein vs. carbohydrates and the acidity they produce, it doesn't talk of raw meat protein vs. cooked meat protein, it even talks about the protein in carbs relating to acid.
