The abstract doesn't relate to our discussion at all, unless you can prove those are the only enzymes present in the entire digestive system. It only sampled the small intestines, while we know that different enzymes are present throughout the digestive system, like how humans have amylase in our saliva. It doesn't tell us how those enzymes interact with different food sources either.

As for whether someone should research such a topic, that's why we have science. There's a reason we don't have some guy going "duh, obviously" in a lab in place of like... tests. People have studied what gators can eat. I found two studies on it in less than an hour of searching. I see no grounds to dismiss these studies as they're pertinent to our discussion. If we dismiss every study sponsored by some kind of industry we'd be left citing highschool science faires.

The sugar of the bagle sure also is a problem right?

I'm not saying anyone should feed bagels to alligators. I'm debating what this person said would happen if they do.
