This is an eye opening article. As an equine nutritionist the horse industry has been seeing more and more 'new diseases'. It's startling. Most have to do with insulin disregulation and, you guessed it- muscle diseases never seen before. So many horse feeds are full of garbage ingredients that I didn't used to see even a few years ago. Trusted wholesome feed companies have been bought out and lately the feed 'recipe' has been changed claiming it's 'improved'. The health issues are exploding and becoming behavioral issues which equals riders getting hurt due to their horses being in pain. Horse owners are quick to purchase all kinds of supplements for their beloved (and expensive) equine partners. They spend a fortune trying to make them healthier with whatever the 'latest-greatest- most promoted-make your horse a superstar-blue ribbon winner' promises. The horse supplement industry is a booming business! (And let's face it, the majority of people who can afford to purchase and keep a horse, has money. I'm not talking small farms, I'm talking suburbs with flashy boarding barns, that charge big money to board your horse)

When I am asked to do a nutrition analysis for a horse owner who is having issues with their horse, I see rows of supplements and bags of all kinds of horse feeds in their barn feed rooms. Calming supplements, supplements to control their insulin problems, or to make them faster, or stronger, you name it.

I always recommend throwing it all out and going back to natural grass forage, which is what horses are designed to eat.

We are killing our beloved pets as well as ourselves and our children.

So, "gluten sensitivity" ("allergy"; all allergies are invented conditions to cover up for some form of poisoning) is most likely due to "fortification" and, one must not forget, pesticidal residues.

Notice that municipal water is now most likely chloraminated, because the hundred-year-old water pipes allow for all kinds of contamination to get into the water. Chloramine is a hundred times more toxic than chlorine, and it can be removed only by carbon filtering (chlorine leaves the water if you let the water sit for a few days).

Modified proteins seem to be a major problem, causing "autoimmune conditions" while synthetizing body tissues, and most recently, peptic ulcers. I have collected 13 major causes, and they can converge anytime:
