Don't

may not have been so "blithe".
Very true. The post
I responded to was a synopsis, not a deposition.
uniformly suffering from either
endotoxemia and/or laminitis, the guaranteed route to produce it is to feed a
couple pounds of corn starch. It breaks down to straight glucose in the
small intestine and you can count on the onset of devastating laminitis within
24 hours. Machiavellian, but there you are.>
But
I said sugar.
Okay. But starch
becomes a sugar, or more specifically a monosaccharide, pretty promptly.
Moot point either way, unless someone is planning to supplement their horse
with a couple pounds of corn starch… in which case, my recommendation but
be Don’t.
