Just curious if any horse owners/experts are exploring the link between feeding horses GMO's and all the health problems we are currently seeing in the equine population? Kevin Maxwell |

Hi, Kevin - I believe a number of people have begun looking into this, but so far there has been no link between GMO's and health issues in the equine population. There are very clear links between iron overload and IR; between oxidative stress and PPID; between inappropriate diets, obesity and IR; but so far nothing has come up with GMO.

Oops - I also forgot to mention: unless this is concerning a horse who is IR or PPID, we should move the GMO discussion to the sister list, EC Horsekeeping.
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ECHorsekeeping/info You have to join, but it just takes a minute. The main list is kept for conversations about PPID or IR horses needing help; more general conversations such as GMO go to EC Horsekeeping. Thanks!

Hi Kevin
Just to add to Jaini's response re:ECHorsekeeping. We do monitor all developing info re GMO. There was great thread, a rare balanced and not emotional conversation a while back on ECHorsekeeping which I will link below. EquineCushings & IR - Off Topic Issues
