Friends,
I keep seeing these commercials on "Hulu" about the new Purina Product "Bright Minds".
They hypothesize that around the age of 7 the glucose metabolism in a Dog's brain changes dramatically, but special ingredients in their dog food will restore the mental acuity and general zest for living.
Choices:
A.} Pure Woo.
B.} The dog food contains substances that have been demonstrated to work—a little—and they're exaggerating like Hell.
C.} The stuff works miracles.
In the case of "C", why aren't they feeding it to people?
i.) Ingrediants not yet proven safe in humans.
OR;
ii.) For some obscure reason or reasons, it doesn't help old human brains nearly as much as it does a dog's brain.
One might theorize that we're talking about large amounts of Selected Amino Acids, B Vitamins, Hormone Precursors, Anti-Oxidents or Natural Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors like St John's Wort.
Google and all I can find are user testimonials and advertising hype.
IF there were any clinical or laboratory tests, they are well buried.
The company helpfully explains that the dog food is made mostly from rice and chicken along with some "Biological Oils".
IF this is pure Woo, why doesn't someone call their bluff on it?
Preying on people's affection for aging pets and fleecing them into buying over-priced dog food isn't funny.
It is very sad when a beloved pet gets old and I have no doubt that some folks would be willing to do without something for themselves to get this promised benefit for their pets…
And IF its a Scam, it is a very tacky one.
So if anyone has any solid info, please clue me in.
Thanks.

BIG PS:
And the fact that I worry about things like this instead of just blanking out when they interrupt the Anime is a cross that folks with inquiring minds sometimes have to bear…
I Guess...
