These are your words, I don't need to twist anything, in your opinion , you dispute, the evidence given in the research mentioned.

The study was done at the RVC in conjunction with a number of vets around the midlands... The vet doing the study has put his name to it also. So it's not just a newspaper article.

You DID twist my words... here are your words...

You said, no one would ever be able to prove to you , that pedigree dogs are as healthy as crossbreeds, note.... The article did not said they are healthier , but as healthy, there is a difference.

I did NOT say that. I said HEALTHIER, not "as healthy". So I don't know what you are trying to do, but I never said that nobody could never prove that they were not "as healthy". Not once did I say that, so yeah...
