Pulp/ Laminitis Scare
You're right, one rat research does not a statistical trend
make. However, I felt it the more responsible thing to do on behalf
of laminitic, insulin resistant and Cushinoid horses and the owners who
manage them, to state even the remote possibility of a problem (and
how to solve it right here and now) ---rather than wait a year to
establish statistical data.
And that, Jaye, is the very heart of "interest in the well being of
our equids". Sorry that it offends your tender sensibilities.

Laminitis Scare
>>However, I was recently forwarded a copy of an analysis of
some beet pulp (admittedly, only one sample) in which simple sugars ran
incredibly high, over 30%---which for a seriously insulin resistant
and/or Cushinoid horse with laminitis issues, could potentially be
catastrophic<<
Doc, i really did enjoy your interests in the well being of our
equids, but you just stepped over the line. That line consist of true
fact and realistic information to the public. One sample in
a true scientific study doesn't have a conclusion or points of
discussion. Until the beetpulp study is complete
theorecticals need to be kept under wraps and
tabled when conclusive fact is found instead of
therum. You sound like every other equine
prognosticator, scare the hell out of them first then explain it's
just very few horses that are affected..
