Where did you get the information that Castor & Pollux is the parent company of Blue Buffalo? I have never heard this information from anywhere other than here, and don't believe that it is factual.

Blue Buffalo was highly recommended by an employee of Pets Smart. It gave our puppy gas and diareha. I spoke to other people and it did the same to their dog.

I am posting this general post just to show you how ill informed this woman is about nutrition. If she pulled her head out of Wiki she would see that everything used in different forms and moderation is needed by the human body.

I am a pet owner and I am alarmed by her claims. I can't believe all she does is stick her nose in Wikipedia which can be very unreliable. A lot of these chemicals come in different forms and amounts and are often useful even in the human body in very small amounts for proper nutrition. No I am not some advocate for pet food companies. I have my own critters and research everything I feed them. Most of the stuff is needed in small amounts. Even salt is needed in a very small amount for nutrition. If we had no salt we would get very sick. Get your head out of wiki and do some researchy lady before you misinform these people.

Selenium is an essential element (animals require selenium for selenium-dependent enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase.[3]). Sodium selenite is currently used in some food supplements in microgram quantities, but it is toxic at higher levels, the acute toxicity differs from the chronic toxicity which for selenite the chronic toxic dose for human beings is about 2400 to 3000 micrograms of selenium per day for a long time.[4]. See MSDS.

Here is another artical for you on Calcium Sulfate

It demonstrates the neccesity for this ingredient as a supplement and leavener ingredient. There are different forms of this and some are food grade and even fed to humans to increase uptalke of calium via the Fermaloid type. Look it up people.

Choline Chloride

Here is a small excerpt from this website.

http://ezinearticles.com/?Choline-Chloride-Nutriti

Choline Chloride, concentrations of which are found in the tissues of the nervous system, is necessary for brain function, the synthesis of neurotransmitters, and for the building and maintenance of acetylcholine.

Acetylcholine, in turn, aids sleep, memory, and the thought processes; it also helps control movement.

Because our Choline production decreases with age, it can lead to memory loss, and impaired learning and cognitive skills.

Potassium Chloride

Potassium is vital in the human body and oral potassium chloride is the common means to replenish it, although it can also be diluted and given intravenously (of course, in concentrations much lower than those used in executions). It can be used as a salt substitute for food, but due to its weak, bitter, unsalty flavor, it is usually mixed with regular salt (sodium chloride), for this purpose to improve the taste (for example, in Morton Lite Salt[4]). Medically it is used in the treatment of hypokalemia and associated conditions, for digitalis poisoning, and as an electrolyte replenisher. Brand names include K-Dur, Klor-Con, Micro-K, and Kaon Cl. Side effects can include gastrointestinal discomfort including nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and bleeding of the digestive tract. Overdoses cause hyperkalemia which can lead to paresthesia, cardiac conduction blocks, fibrillation, arrhythmias, and sclerosis.
