This line of discussion is pretty loopy. I don't know about the adrenal
glands, but I do know that there is a HUGE and growing population of
domestic cats in this country these days, and that they are breeding
prolifically on commercial COOKED cat food, canned and dry. Pottenger's
cats couldn't reproduce, probably because he didn't know they needed
taurine (not known until 1975).
