Never before has the pet-food industry been rocked by widespread contamination and rampant recalls. In all, more than 5,600 products by dozens of pet food makers have been recalled, from chain supermarket brands to prescription-only foods. This is a staggering number of products, and is unprecedented in this business.

Holistic veternarian Dr. Jane Bicks is quoted as saying: "Thousands of deaths are due to the contamination, and many thousands more have suffered illnesses. We shudder to think of the long-term impacts of the compromised liver and kidney function and how this will affect thousands of companion animals in America.

Leading experts believe that the severe reactions experienced by some cats and dogs were the result of an interaction of chemicals, between the melamine and a list of other culprits, including cyuranic acid.



The past few weeks have been very difficult for pet parents. News of the food recalls has struck a raw nerve with millions of us – don’t mess with my family!"

New evidence suggests that prenatal intake of soy can have a long-term positive impact on weight..... This was reported in the Trilogy Only Health Newsletter (May 2007)....
Findings at a Duke University Medical Center research study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, give some degree of verification to the “developmental origins of adult disease” hypothesis, which states that a person’s prenatal experience affects their long-term health.

While not confirmed yet in tests on people, preliminary results indicate a correlation between prenatal consumption of soy – and specifically, the nutrient genistein – and the risk of becoming overweight......

When the pregnant mice in this research study consumed a diet which was rich in genistein, their offspring were substantially leaner throughout their adulthood. This could explain why Asian populations, which typically injest larger amounts of soy than other nations, often have lower rates of not only being overweight, but breast & prostate cancers as well........
