Plus, there is a lot of assumption trying to connect the correlation between the different studies that have are published research articles when the general public does not have access to the entire articles or the ones sited. So it turns into assumptions on the part of some of the readers. Which then leads to confusion and vague assumptions.

Chachi......I'm not picking on you at all but going to use your post as an example of the confusion

Because of the confusion you are now under the assumption that LP was talked about in the posted articles but actually it was CCL rupture that was slightly increased in altered female dogs. See how this information can become confused. Now someone else will come along and see this and take it as fact.
