FD&C Yellow No. 5 (Tartrazine) Derived from coal tar, FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine) is America's second most popular food color. It is found in candy, pet food, soft drinks, cheese, crackers, and baked goods. FD&C Yellow No. 5 may cause allergic reactions, especially in aspirin-sensitive persons. |

See book keywords and concepts |  While a small percentage of horsemeat may end up in pet food, today most is shipped to Europe where it is sold in meat cases for about $6.00 a pound. And every one of those horses is inspected at U.S. taxpayer expense.
Most horses slaughtered in the United States are young, healthy animals whose owners simply have no use for them. During a visit to a horse auction, however, one can also usually see many broken-down, mistreated, and emaciated animals, horses whose owners have neglected them. |

With more than a million pounds certified by the FDA in 1976, Red #40 has grown in six years from zero sales to the second most prevalent food coloring agent in the U.S., behind only Yellow #5.* It is now virtually impossible to eat most normal meals uncontaminated by the dye. |

*After a year of producing nearly an egg a day, the survivors are gassed or ground up alive to be fed back to other chickens; slaughtered for use in the school lunch program or in pet food, says Feed-stuffs, an industry trade magazine; or "recycled" to spend to another laying cycle in the crowded cages. To shorten the hens' natural resting period between laying cycles, farmers deprive "recycled" birds of all food for from five to fifteen days. |

FD&C Yellow No. 5 may cause allergic reactions, especially in aspirin-sensitive persons. It is reported that this common additive causes adverse reactions such as recurrent urticaria (a type of rash), coughing 6k, swelling of mucous membranes, angioedema, and asthma. It is also implicated in hyperkinesis. In a double-blind placebo-controlled study reported in the Journal of Pediatrics (Nov. 1994), FD&C Yellow No. 5 caused behavioral changes, irritability, restlessness, and sleep disturbances in some children. |

"In our household, I make sure there are leftovers from each meal. If I'm making oatmeal, I make extra to share with my animals. . . . Collect raw vegetables from your salad (oil-free please, unless you are using extra-virgin oil alone) and any of the throwaway parts of vegetables (no moldy ones, of course) and leftover steamed veggies. Chop or grate and store in the refrigerator. There you have it! A healthy concoction at your fingertips. |

FD&C Blue No. 2 is banned in Norway. Tests on laboratory animals suggest that this additive may cause brain tumors, but this has not been proven.

See book keywords and concepts |  To compensate for what has been lost during the cooking and canning process, pet food manufacturers add vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to their products. It has been shown, however, that these synthetic vitamins are not absorbed by the body as well as vitamins that occur through a natural diet.41 have always favored a wholesome raw diet over synthetic pills and concoctions. Science has not been able to duplicate what nature has perfected over millions of years, and I don't believe we ever will. |

If you like, you may vary the grains by feeding oatmeal or barley. Parsley and asparagus work as gentle diuretics helping the kidney flush wastes and impurities. Also, for dogs you may occasionally substitute tofu for the chicken."
_Dr. | | Stefanatos: "The pesticides, preservatives, and additives in pet food reprogram the organs so their functions behave differently. No one knows the full extent of the problem, but it's there, nevertheless."
The Nature of Animal Diabetes
The most common form of this disease in small animals is uncomplicated diabetes mellitus, which is similar in many ways to that seen in humans. There are two types: Type I requires daily insulin, while Type II doesn't need it. Early signs include voluminous discharge of urine in a given period, chronic excessive intake of water, gluttony, and weight loss. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Our] food plan is laid back in comparison to the rigid feeding instructions on pet food bags. The living foods, leftovers and extras are supplements to the amount of base food you're currently feeding. If you are adding a lot of extras one night, cut back on the base food. It's also important to tune into your animal's unique metabolism and to monitor his or her weight. Some breeds have a much slower metabolism than others.
"Just to give you an idea on proportions, here's what [we] would serve a 70 lb. dog and 10 lb. cat. | | Long gone are the days of feeding handfuls of Milk Bones and a chemically reserved pet food. 'You love them so much, but you do so many things unknowingly that are bad. I feel so fortunate that we found this out before she got any older.'
"The best gift of all—Mary is convinced—this happier, healthier Ginger is more able than ever to do her work service as the lifeline for Alice, who [turned 89 in October 1996]. 'When Mother broke her hip, the [hip-replacement] surgery was pretty hard on her and she lost some memory.' But Mary's mother never lost touch with reality when it came to Ginger. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It was a hunch that led him to the Quaker Oats Company and a product they were putting into pet food. Dr. Anderson had tried wheat bran without luck. (As it turns out, wheat bran does not lower blood cholesterol.) Then he remembered the Dutch oat millers. Reports were coming out of Holland that they often eat prodigious amounts of oatmeal—six or seven bowls a day. And they are blessed with exceptionally low blood cholesterol. Dr. Anderson knew that oats have a gelatinous fiber quite different from that of wheat. |

¦ To keep flies out of the house, place sweet clover in bags made of mosquito netting (available at most large fabric stores), and hang them about the room.
¦ Mix equal amounts of bay leaf pieces, coarsely ground cloves, broken eucalyptus leaves, and clover blossoms. | | Avoid generic pet food. Once you've taken away the cost for marketing and distribution of generic food, there's very little money left for good nutrition and protein.
Housebreaking
Can anything loom more darkly than the prospect of housebreaking a pet? Probably not, but the process does not have to be a long and difficult one. Try this procedure for dogs:
¦ Teach your puppy to come, sit, or respond to some other command at least twice a day, to begin instilling discipline.
¦ Feed the puppy at the same time every day, 7 days a week. Offer no tidbits or snacks. |

HOW I RATE PET-CARE PRODUCTS
Pet-care products are rated by the same standards I used to rate human-care products. There are very few earthwise pet-care products but many natural ones. |

They also said that they import a variety of food in lead-soldered cans, including mushrooms, fruits, fish, tomatoes, artichokes, pimentos, water chestnuts, and plum pudding.)

See book keywords and concepts | | This claim can legally be made and printed on commercial products based on information studies using isolated nutrients and not whole foods, or by feeding the complete pet food to animals for several weeks to determine whether it prevents obvious disease or malnutrition. Although motivated by an interest to assure quality for the consumer, these tests ignote important nutritional issues and give both producer and consumer a false sense of knowledge and security.
Measuring a food's merit by levels of isolated nutrients tells only a partial story. |

After Dr. Anderson figured out what to do with it, it was precisely enough for 533 servings. In a few weeks he ate thirty-five of them himself.

Another aspect of cruelty to animals concerns how animals are treated while they are being raised. Most meat, poultry, and animal products on the market today come from factory farms, where animals are confined in dark, crowded quarters, fed a diet high in drugs and chemicals, and deprived of exercise and fresh air. |
