I did a research paper a few years ago about the dangers of the dairy industry. The information and studies are out there to verify the data. The
vast quantities of hormones, steroids and anti-biotics is quite disturbing.
Here is a piece of info that I uncovered while writing my research paper. The FDA will discourage lactating/breastfeeding mothers from consuming
certain drugs, hormones, antibiotics, etc for fear that it will enter the milk and be passed on to the baby. But the FDA will completely admit that
dairy cattle are being injected with some of these same drugs and hormones, yet they can be quoted as saying that these drugs do not make it into the
milk of dairy cattle. Yet there is study after study to show that it does.
The FDA is a joke and is doing a dis-service to the American people. They are fueled by corporate greed and in the pocket of every food and
pharmaceutical manufacturer in the country. Dairy is not the only danger. Hydrogenated oils and brominated vegetable oil are both banned in several
developed nations because of the side effects associated with consuming these chemicals. Yet they are readily added to many of our food products.
Artificial sweeteners are amino acids that have long term side effects that still are not entirely known. Most sodas contain sodium benzonate and
citric acid, when combined they form small amounts of benzene, a known carcinogen. This information was brought to the attention of the FDA, the soda
manufacturers and the American people several years ago and still nothing has changed in the recipes for most carbonated beverages.
Almost every sweet thing we eat contains HFCS(high fructose corn syrup) and the human body does not process this sugar the same as regular sugar. It
fuels large profits along with obesity.
The FDA is a mouth piece for corporate greed and a danger to the health and well being of the American people.
Do your own research and read labels. Buy organic when you can and stay away from processed foods. If we as Americans stop buying this crap they are
giving us, they will be forced to provide better options in order to make any profits. Demand better and you will get better. Use profit margins
against companies. You truly are what you eat.
Good Luck
