或許你正在餵食雞肉口味的飼料，且你也不感到憂心。在寵物接下來的日子裡，你是否有想過要放棄飼料這種類型的食物，而改餵乾淨、新鮮的生鮮食呢？
讓我們來瞧瞧以下的研究：
"與生食的抗原相比，約有31%的患者在食用人造加工的食品後，Ige抗體力價增高3 - 8倍之多！在IgG、IgA和IgM也有類似的情況產生，其抗體力價在加工食品都會比生食還要來的高。幾乎每個含有高抗體力價的受試血清，都會與食物中的髓鞘蛋白、氧化的低密度肢蛋白、人類的AGE血清白蛋白和AGE血紅素" - 2009 Vojdani; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.。
這些專業術語到底想表達什麼？
在一個唾液的試驗中科學家發現，人類吃進相同但不同形式的食物後，吃進人造加工食品後造成食物過品的機率是生鮮食的5倍。
為何會如此？
科學家們相信，食物在經過高溫加工後會產生許多新的抗原，這時就會增加免疫反應發生的機率，特別是寵物的免疫系統已經相當失衡的時候！
根據書本"狗狗營養基因學"所提：
"如果我們按照這樣的邏輯推斷，市售的寵物飼料/罐頭等商品的製成都需經過高溫處理，可能會因此產生新的抗原。儘管這些食物仍保有一定的營養，但卻會帶來相當高的飲食不耐或過敏反應，特別是寵物的免疫系統已經相當失衡的時候。"
所以，當您決定不再餵食寵物某種特定肉源時，請確保你和獸醫師已經嘗試過餵食該種新鮮且有機的特定肉源再做決定，因為食物在新鮮、有機的狀況下，誘發過敏的機率相當低。
Perhaps you fed your pet a bag of chicken kibble and they didn’t fair so well. Before giving up completely on that protein source for the rest of your pet’s life, have you ever tried feeding it in a clean, fresh state?
Check out the following study:
“Compared to raw food antigens, IgE antibodies showed a 3–8-fold increase against processed food antigens in 31% of the patients. Similarly, IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies against modified food antigens overall were found at much higher levels than antibody reactions against raw food antigens. Almost every tested serum with high levels of antibodies against modified food antigens showed very high levels of antibodies against myelin basic protein, oxidized low density lipoprotein, AGE-human serum albumin and AGE-hemoglobin.” - 2009 Vojdani; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
What on earth does that mean exactly?
Basically, in saliva studies, researchers found when the exact same food was eaten by people, there was a 5 times higher risk of an allergic reaction to that food eaten in a processed form than there was when eaten in a raw or unaltered state.
Why?
It is believed that commercially prepared foods cooked at high temperatures create new antigens that pose a higher risk of an immune reaction, especially with pets that already suffer from a compromised immune system!
According to the book Canine Nutrigenomics:
"If we extrapolate these findings to our canine companions, we can surmise that commercially prepared kibble or canned foods, both of which are cooked at high temperatures, may also be exposing neo (new) antigens created through the heating process. While still nutritious, these foods could pose a higher risk of a dietary intolerance or immune reaction, especially for animals with already compromised immune systems."
So before giving up on the thought of never again feeding your pet a specific meat source, make sure you and your veterinarian have ruled out trying to feed that protein source in a fresh, organic state.
