Food Safety

 

The larger factories are really bad for the earth because they depend on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and techniques that really harm the land.
             It Doesn't Just Hurt The Cows!.
             There have also been studies showing how it affects rat, in turn humans. About 40% of the meat we are getting is for old cows that are being used in this inhumane hormone therapy. The milk that is being produced is chemically and nutritionally very different form naturally produced milk. This supercharged milk has been linked with causes of breast, colon, and prostate cancers. The milk does not have pre-market safety testing required. These injections do not seem to be showing any real benefits, but they are holding a slew of risks to the entire population. In 1998 Canadian government scientists brought it to the attention of the public that when feeding the rBGH hormone to rats defiantly indicated cancer dangers to humans. Another study that has been done in rats has shown that within two weeks some of the effects were increased body weight, increased liver weight, increased bone length, and decreased epiphyseal width. But of course these hormone-produced items are still on the market for sales and do not have to even be labeled. Even though there are long term tests of the effects on people it is also linked to diabetes and hypertension. In the 1980's there was an increase in the number of cases of children maturing a little too fast physically. There were a number of cases of pre-mature sexual development, 5-year-old girls and boys with enlarged breast, accelerated puberty, and vaginal bleeding in 5-year-old girls. They decided to try something, they took away milk and meat off the diet of these children and surprisingly the symptoms went away. They discovered that 97% of infants who consumed showed signs of abnormal breast tissue and in the older group that consumed beef and poultry also. For almost 40 years it has been shown that drugs and substances in animals have been affecting humans.
