In science one makes reasonable conclusions based on available data and has to be open to new information which may challenge previously made conclusions and lead to a new conclusion being made.

If as a scientist information that counters your current conclusion is cast aside forward progress will not be made.

In this situation it is early in the investigation. What has been found is a correlation between eating foods high in legumes and cardiomyopathy with improvement when the diet is changed. Correlation doesn’t mean causation but it warrants further investigation.

Thank goodness there are veterinarians who acting as good scientists are open to this new information vs casting it aside.
