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. |
IDK either, I took a glance @ the charts & didn't understand it...it was really late when I posted it too. Didn't even bother reading the study.
I used to sprinkle freeze dried raw over their kibble & they all loved it & had no issues. When I was transitioning Mimi & Turbo over to premade raw, I added some raw over their kibble & they were fine then too. When they were completely on raw, I noticed that they were burping a lot more than usual & it was stinky. Though that was weird, it lasted a couple of days & stopped.
