You are what your mother ate

By Maneka Sanjay Gandhi

In 1930, Dr. Pottenger conducted a study to find out more about the effects of raw versus cooked meat, as well as raw versus pasteurized milk on cats and whether they had any impact on growth and development.

Nine hundred cats were studied in ten years in order to not only see the short term effects of the food, but also the influence the cats diet would have on their kittens over three generations. The results of this study were stunning: a simple modification in diet raw vs cooked meat and milk-impacted cats health over four generations!
