Antibiotics and Hormones

Hi! Everyone,
Today I received an email from Dr Al Sears regarding antibiotics and hormones used in cattle rearing. Below is the excerpt of the email.

Dear liew,

The drugs in the commercial beef you buy at your local supermarket are getting so bad, even the vultures are dying.

I just read a report that millions of vultures died in South Asia after eating cattle carcasses tainted with two drugs used to treat livestock.

As scavengers, vultures have an iron-clad digestive system. Look at their diet – the birds eat nothing but putrid meat day in and day out. Yet their numbers have decreased – almost to extinction in some cases – because of the deadly effect of drugs we inject into cattle.

Imagine for a moment what would have happened had the meat made its way into your refrigerator.

For millions of years, beef has been a healthy part of our ancestors’ diet. But our ancestors never had to deal with the commercial farming practices of today.

I want to stress the importance of making certain the meat you eat is not commercially raised. My two biggest concerns are antibiotics and hormones…

Commercially raised cattle are force-fed grain laced with antibiotics – not because they’re sick, but to:

Increase daily body-weight gain
Improve food-to-weight gain ratio
Increase the voluntary intake of food
Did you know that 70% of all antibiotics in the U.S. are used – not in people – but in “healthy” livestock animals?2 This is a major crisis for us, because antibiotics create drug-resistant strains of bacteria that live in the food we eat. Because of this, many life-threatening diseases – such as E.coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter – are almost impossible to treat.3

The other major issue is hormones.

Most beef in the U.S. is injected with synthetic hormones that are transferred to people. They are dangerous to children, dangerous to adults, and also cause cancer. It’s such a health concern that there’s been a ban on hormone-treated U.S. meat throughout the European nations since 1989.4

It’s a sad commentary.

I was lucky enough to grow up eating grass-fed beef. My mom and dad made sure we had locally grown, healthy, grazing beef from neighboring farms. They simply didn’t trust the commercial beef industry; my dad said they kept too many secrets. But they did trust what they could see in our neighbors’ fields and farms.

Finding quality grass-fed beef is tricky sometimes. Grocery stores often label meat as grass-fed because at one time in their life, a cow grazed on grass, but later was put on a grain diet. So it’s important to investigate.

Today, I order all my meat from a rancher who I now consider my friend, John. John’s ranch is in Virginia. When I visited his ranch, it was a beautiful sight to behold, the cattle roaming free and grazing over acres of hilly grasslands.

And there is nothing like his dry-aged cuts of beef. The thought makes my mouth water.

If you’re having trouble finding a true, quality, grass-fed cut of beef, or if you simply want to try a slice of heaven, I made it possible for you to order from John. You can rest assured you’ll be getting prime beef without the worry.

NOTE:
We should also be aware of the beef, pork and chicken meat we eat. Make sure they are free range and not fed with antibiotics and hormones. Antibiotics kill the friendly bacterias in our intestines and colon. These bacterias digest the food we eat so that they can be bioavailable to our body. Meat should consist of less than 10% of our diet. Vegetarians should take more beans and nuts to ensure they have enough proteins. Eat fresh local fruits, raw vegetables (80%) and cooked food (20%). The enzymes, which help the digestion of food, are destroyed in cooked, preserved and processed food. Undigested food produced toxins in our body.
