several years ago my sisters vet, a UC Davis graduate who is working with UCD re heart disease and dog foods, he told her exactly what has been said here. Avoid all dog food with legumes unless way down the ingredient chart. He also explained the splitting so again way down the chart. He also said avoid potatoes unless down the chart as research was still looking at them. My reproductive vet said said peas and other legumes should be way down or off of the ingredients list for breeding dogs as they do disrupt cycles and cause other issues still being studied. Thank you for such a great discussion
