Spex CertiPrep (http://www.spexcsp.com) recently published part 1 and part 2 of their test results about heavy metals found in pet foods. Susan Thixton, Founder of TruthAboutPetFood.com has been trying to find the answers as to how this could even have happened and what the FDA’s plans are to improve the safety of pet food. "The analysis of all the pet food samples showed that the highest concentrations of toxic elements were found in the dry foods of both cats and dogs. Out of the elements studied, dry food had the highest elemental content for 13 of the 15 elements examined. Dog food had the highest result for nine of the 15 toxic elements and cat food had the highest concentration for six of the 15 elements." -Analysis of Toxic Trace Metals in Pet Foods Using Cryogenic Grinding and Quantitation by ICP-MS, Part 1 published in the January 2011 Spectroscopy Magazine. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Susan Thixton to discuss in depth her exploration of this highly disturbing research and to also discuss options that pet owners can take.
