It's a common belief, however diet does not cause metabolic syndrome. - Eleanor M. Kellon, VMD
The wrong diet exacerbates equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) but it doesn't actually cause it.
It's easy to see where the idea came from. When a horse/pony/donkey has metabolic syndrome it is very important to limit the sugar and starch in the diet. Starch is digested to glucose before being absorbed. The higher the intake, the higher the animal's insulin levels will go and the higher the laminitis risk.
However, these abnormal elevations don't happen with every horse, and evidence continues to grow that metabolic syndrome is genetic.
