And that is problematic within their initial study which was one of
feeding because....?

The CU study is from 1974-75 and it was a feeding one- labeling
analysis was rejected due to the above problem.. Nutritional labeling
has changed since then...quite a bit, in fact. That complaint is 40
years old. Times change. Labeling changes.

Try again.

How about now, for a start? And if Google Usenet searches still
worked, I could add to this list very easily.

Ummm...Feingold Association is a bunch of net-kook freaks. Next you'll
be offering up Mercola and Mehmet Oz, I suppose.....

They are reporting the results incorrectly and using a study years out
of date

I asked proof that the rat results so "freaked out the CR poobahs,"
that they used a different testing methodology next time.

I have no qualms about nutritional analysis...I want *you* to prove
the bullshit claim you made that such an analysis was chosen out of CU
being "freaked" by previous results and somehow tailored the next
study to, perhaps, favor the results somehow.

Now go away...."Feingold".....LOL LOL HA HA HA.
