I have three cats with hyper thyroids, my friends have cats with hyper thyroids. They say only 10% of cats get hyper thyroid, so, why are so many cats getting hyper thyroids today? Hills diet did a study and found that the iodine content is responsible. Foods are processed in such a way that the food is pumped with iodine to the degree that cats are receiving 100 times more ioding than they should get and this is causing the tumors which cause hyper thyroid. I don't work for Hills. I'm just a consumer. Hills makes a very expensive food with out the added iodine. A count of 0.3 is normal. What other catfoods have is 99.0. I would like to be able to give my cats healthy food with only a 0.3 count of iodine not the 99.0 count. Human food is also pumped full of iodine. It makes the poultry look plumper. It is loaded in seafood most of all. Avoiding catfood with seafood is a good idea, but it is not the solution. I read that after cats with hyper thyroids ate the Hills diet of low iodine, they reversed their hyper thyroidism. I would like to petition all pet foods to stop using iodine whether it be in the processing or otherwise, in this unhealthy way and to keep it down to the proper healthy count of 0.3.
Pet food industry, please stop pumping our cats food full of iodine. It is causing hyper thyroidism in our cats. Hills did a study and in a low iodine diet with a count of 0.3 as opposed to the 99.0 count that the pet food industry has in there food, cats with hyper thyroidism reversed their hyper thyroidism in as little as three weeks.
