Dangers of raw pet foods: Free Radical Problems Masked
– Essential fatty acids
and other health enhancing lipids are critical in the diet. Once foods
are ground, mixed, exposed to air, light and pro-oxidants such as heme
iron and other metals found in plant and animal tissue, the contained
lipids are oxidized to chain reaction producing free-radicals, causing
rancidity and oxidant toxins. Freezing at appropriately low
temperatures slows this process but does not stop it. The temperature
in conventional freezers used for RF pet foods is not insurance against
such oxidation. Because the frozen state masks olfactory detection of
rancidity, foods that would be otherwise rejected end up being
consumed. The free-radical pathology potential can then work its
chronic degenerative disease and immune weakening effects.
