Re: Carbs - only part of the picture

Ok, I'm going to divulge the results of my research, clandestinely funded by
Sweden.  This research, while controversial, is 100% pure science (as
determined by esteemed review boards such as Reader's Digest and the
National Inquirer).  As 100% pure science, the results cannot be disputed,
they can only be ignored or dismissed out of hand.  Thusly:

"...our research shows that, unlike diets high in fat, high in carbos, OR
high in protein, the equine diet that is high in Absolut Vodka and Lutefisk
produces the best overall performance in the endurance horse.  This was
confirmed by our use of the newly developed Fartometer, which carefully
calculates dietary gas components and their contribution to locomotion..."

Well, that's it in a nutshell, see you at the races...

So, where are the big guns? Doesn't anybody have some Grand Poobah science
to
quote? Is poor ol' Lon Lewis going to win the day? Can't we prove that
Heidi's
premise that carbohydrates shrivel horses to faxes of themselves. Or that
molasses causes tying up? Can't we prove Truman's (and your) idea that more
than ten pounds of grain a day will cause a horse to explode. Or founder? Or
die of rampant gangrene? Can't we prove that endurance horses are an
entirely
different species than other performance horses?
