Very true, yah I also read something on that. It is good that dog food companies are researching what works best for different kinds of breeds,sizes and stages of life. I wish they could also supply some meaningful scientific data to us so that we could see the actual benefits/draw backs of feeding puppy foods vs. adult foods. At the moment the findings presented on either side seem like anecdotal evidence, which although is credible to a good degree doesn't compare to long term scientific research.
