Since I don't have any genetically designed pet rats at the moment,
this data does not apply to me.
But, if I do get some in the future, I'll remember this and be sure to
feed them a diet that is healthy for them. So thanks for posting this
For humans, blood type science provides a much clearer picture of how
to determine which foods are healthiest for a particular person; and
which should be avoided.
best wishes,
