The Spirit of Animal Healing by Martin Goldstein

Now, BHA has long been suspected of being carcinogenic (by the Animal Protection Institute of America), so I wrote back and asked why they couldn’t use vitamins C and E as antioxidants instead, and mentioned the other manufacturers who are doing so. I then asked the German branch, and was told Royal Canin uses BHA (E320) and E310. So I contacted Royal Canin (one of the better pet food manufacturers available here in England) to find out what they use to preserve their fats. There are some manufacturers in the US who have started making decent pet foods (see, for example), but you can’t get this in the UK.

High levels of supplements or not, the nutritional value of the food is so low that the added vitamins and minerals are still nowhere near high enough to keep our pets healthy – not to mention the carcinogenic antioxidants that are added when manufacturers could be using vitamins C and E as mixed tocopherol antioxidants, as do some companies in the UK and the US. The dodgy glop we feed our animals is killing them. Martin (Troutdale, OR: New Sage Press, 1997) and What Vets Don’t Tell You About Vaccines by Catherine O’Driscoll (Longnor, Derbyshire: Abbeywood Publishing, 1998), all became clear. I suddenly realised that an awful lot of my friends have pets with cancer and other serious diseases – it’s quite shocking once you pay attention.īut, once I’d read Food Pets Die For by Ann N. But then my cat died of cancer not long ago. For years, I’ve been interested in nutrition and supplements for humans without really paying any attention to supplement levels in pet food. I was very interested in your piece ‘Let them eat dog food’ (WDDTY vol 13 no 9).
