 Here's yet more research showing the widespread, harmful effects of the
use of growth hormones on cattle. According to this study, these growth
hormones wash off ranch land and into rivers and streams. There, they
impact the fish populations, causing havoc with the reproductive systems
of those fish.The beef industry is one that is steeped in destructive
practices, and artificial growth hormones are just one of the many
sources of problems. If these hormones can leak into streams and affect
fish as a side effect, imagine how they affect consumers of red
meat and cow's milk! I believe that science will ultimately link
prostate cancer and other forms of cancer to the intake of hormones
through beef and milk. Remember: many of these hormones are banned
throughout the world (Canada, the U.K., etc.) but are allowed in the
U.S. only because profits took precedence over consumer health. The
beef industry has problems far beyond growth hormones, of course: mad
cow is now ravaging the industry. As many as 35 countries have banned
the import of U.S. beef, and U.S. consumers are turning to alternative
choices for dietary protein. Mad cow is no accident: it is the result of
sickening practices in the beef industry, such as feeding chicken litter
to cows, grinding up dead, diseased cows and feeding them to other cows,
and the rampant use of antibiotics across cattle populations. I have
nothing good to say about the mainstream U.S. beef industry. It is
cruel, it is unclean, and if I may use the term, it is unholy. It has
even been described as a holocaust against animals. Visit PETA for more
