How many of you know about the Price-Pottinger studies? These are old
studies but they are wonderful. These men were doing research in the
1920's and it is just coming out now. Pottinger was a doctor who
studied cats. In this study, he divided cats into three different
groups and fed them three different diets to find out what effect it
would have. The first group of cats was given a diet of raw meat and
raw milk. The second group of cats had cooked meat and cooked milk. The
third group had cooked meat and condensed milk, and the condensed milk
of course had sugar in it. He observed all three groups of cats over
three generations. The first group of cats who had been given raw meat
and raw milk played happily with each other. When they were thrown up
into the air they would land on their feet; there was no
jaw-withdrawing, their jaws stayed full, their skin remained shiny,
they played with each other, they ate well and produced good litters of
cats over three generations. The second group of cats who were given
cooked milk and cooked meat began to get arthritis by the second and
third generations, and when they climbed up the wire on the side of the
cage their little paws would not open and they had to be helped down.
Their skin started to get boils and was not quite so shiny. They did
not play as well with each other, and the kittens they reproduced were
not as healthy.

This one came up on misc.health.alternative a while back.  It's highly
suspect, because Pottinger didn't know about taurine, which is an
essential amino acid for cats (but not humans).  Cat nutrition is also
quite different from human nutrition.
