It certainly appears the UC Davis 'research' was biased. At least now we
know how that slant might have gone. Since the possible bias was not revealed at the time of the release of the paper, I'm inclined to discount the findings, particularly since most of the dogs (and there were actually very few for such a study) were breeds that are known to be prone to heart problems.
From what I've read, no I don't have the cites to hand, corn provides no digestible nutrients for cats. Which ought to make a successful, if not nutritious, diet food. Even back in the 1970s, our vet told us taht cats couldn't digest corn. Note, he also sold Science Diet, a corn heavy food, Cognitive dissonance it's name is life.
I expect we will see more information from both sides in the future.
