We also don't have human foods that are considered Rx, for example, dog food that will reduce the risk of kidney stones. Foods made for dogs have to be balanced. It’s important that we know if dogs foods will do what they promise consumers they will do, and this can’t be done without testing. Certain human foods and vitamins have been tested on humans and obviously, all foods that humans eat are tested because nothing is really new. Most foods are also tested individually for nutritional value. We do have diets that have been tested on humans to see if they are beneficial for the treatment of disease and or weight loss. There’s much research in nutrition, but still there is so much we just don’t know.
