USDA won't stop use of illegal hormones in the veal industry; cancer
rates skyrocket in humans
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
In yet more news revealing the horrifying activities of the U.S. beef
industry, it has recently been publicized that ranchers are routinely
pumping veal calves full of illegal hormones in an effort to get them to
grow faster. The USDA acts "shocked" about this, but in fact, this
practice is common knowledge in the veal industry. Initially, the USDA
declared all calves that have been dosed with these illegal hormones
should be banned from the food supply, but it quickly backed down after
veal growers protested. Now, the USDA is allowing all hormone-dosed veal
calves to be used in the human food supply, but it says to the ranchers,
"Don't do it anymore." So what's the risk to humans? These hormones
are passed right through the veal and into the bodies of consumers where
they are suspected of accelerating the growth of cancer cells and
substantially increasing the risk of both prostate cancer and breast
cancer. The veal industry, of course, couldn't care less: your cancer is
your problem, they seem to be saying. They just want to sell more veal.
And the USDA? It refuses to enforce laws and regulations prohibiting
the use of these hormones. Rather than acting to protect consumers, the
USDA consistently acts to protect the beef industry. It has even aided
in the ongoing cover-up of mad cow disease by falsifying laboratory
tests, fraudulently altering records and pressuring USDA veterinarians
to lie about events. Make no mistake: the USDA is a highly corrupt
agency that's putting the public health at risk. These actions are
nothing short of criminal and should be treated as such.
