Well, I guess you a d*mned if you do, and d*mned if you don't!
Imagine my surprise when I read on Winn Feline Foundation that one of the undoubted and major risk factors for Hyperthyroidismis - TA-DA! Cats who are fed a wet diet from a can! That part is important, as the pouch doesn't affect the risks... apparently there is something on the can itself that does that... Could it be the Aluminum?
Did Anybody Know that?
Here is the study:

http://winnfelinehealth.blogspot.com...hyroidism.htmlIn the univariate analysis, hyperthyroid cats were more likely to have used a litter box, to be fed wet cat food, to have been fed wet food from a can (as opposed to being fed wet food only from pouches), to be fed all categories of table food including high-fat dairy products, and were more likely to have been exposed to smokers in their environment and to household flea treatments. These findings were similar to those of previous studies. Exposure to food packaged in cans was identified as the major risk factor for the development of hyperthyroidism.
