More ultra-processed food recalled. Corn mould toxins never occur in good raw food for dogs. Never.

LIVER DISEASE on RPM page, tonight 7pm.
You voted overwhelmingly for liver disease tonight so come listen to me grill one of the top vets in the UK on this condition - what is it, why has it happened, what can we do naturally in the background that can run alongside conventional advice to improve my dog's chances.

I'm excited about this one as I know I have a lot to learn here...

🔥🔥🔥 WHY DOES UTLRA-PROCESSED PET FOOD CONTAIN SO MUCH MRP's?! 🔥🔥🔥
Dogs are today 10 times more likely to get cancer than humans. They are the most cancer-stricken animals on the planet.

Cooking meat protein over 110 degrees Celsius for any period of time results in Maillard reactions (where protein starts to bone to sugar, think that clear egg turning white, or the black lines on meat etc). Allowed to progress this process actually makes meat harder to digest (think over-cooking that piece of steak and why studies show the protein in raw dog food is more digestible than the protein in kibble). Worse, the by-products of Maillard reactions, called MRP's, are known to be very bad for you, very cancerous but now also linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease and various age-related degenerative illnesses.

Studies of ultra-processed pet food reveal they are choc-full of MRPs. Van Rooijen et al. (2014) examined 67 extruded, canned and pelleted dog and cat foods used for growth and maintenance for the presence of a variety of harmful MRPs. They found that the average daily intake of certain MRPs were 122 times higher for dogs and 38 times higher for cats than the average intake for adult humans.

But where are all these coming from in ultra-processed pet food? Well, meat meal is one of the major culprits. Meat meal, a.k.a. meat and bone meal, a.k.a. bone meal (as it is largely carcass that gets stewed up, hence the grey colour), a.k.a. dried or dehydrated meat by the pet food industry (honestly, they can do this), a.k.a. utter dietary crap by everyone on the outside looking in, has been ultra heat-treated at least 4 times. Here are the cooking steps:

🔥 HEAT 1: Meat waste (largely carcass in the EU, all sorts of stuff including food waste and pets in the US) is rendered under high temperature and pressure. The fat rises to the top for your soap and jellies, the grey gloop on the bottom is your soon to be "meat" meal.

🔥 HEAT 2: Scrape the gloop out and dry under high temperature to powder form.

🔥 HEAT 3: This "meat" meal is then cooked up with all the plant waste to make cereal-based pet food.

🔥 HEAT 4: Dry said mix on exit of extruder under high temp.

All these processes use temperatures of above 110 degrees Celsius (even cold-pressed has a high temperature cooking step that is done to kill bacteria in the mix. It's that or chemicals. There are no other options for something that sits in a paper bag on a shelf).

Couple a desperately high MRP content with the completely unnecessary high sugar hit (50% dextrininised carbs, carbs that cancer needs to grow), horrible fats and chemicals, lack of antioxidants and bioactive compounds normally found in real food and you literally couldn't actually design a food product more likely to fuel cancer growth in an animal.

WHEN your pet gets cancer, well, they have AMAZING treatments these days that can prolong their lives...

[If your dog has cancer and our vet still has them on kibble I assure you then are very, very wrong. More here https://dogsfirst.ie/sugar-causes-cancer-in-dogs/]
