Great Life "Rubicon" Dog Food
I stumbled across this line of food tonight. It is called Great Life "Rubicon" dog food, which is grain-free & potato-free. Anyone ever heard of it? This company makes some interesting statements about the use of potato in dog foods.

I have heard of it but didn't think it had enough meat in it so didn't check it any closer. Very interesting about the potato claim though.

According to this website (http://www.naturalnews.com/021428.html) acrylamide is also found in sweet potatoes and yams are an ingredient in Great Life Rubicon food.

I was just thinking does this mean we have a carcinogen when we cook potatoes too?

Hubby's nephew is working on his masters degree in Bio Chemistry. I'll pass along the question and see what he can find out.
According to the Wiki site on Acrylamide, that compound isn't present from boiling. Just baking and frying. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylamide Quote:
