What You Eat( Processed meat and dairy products) Matters: Decoding Meat + Dairy Product Labels

Residues of artificial hormones that are widely used to promote growth in beef cattle, dairy cows and sheep may also increase the risk of cancer in humans and lead to higher rates of infection in animals.

Using hormones this way is banned in most European countries and in Australia, Japan, and New Zealand and is not permitted in U.S. pork or poultry products, but it is common in U.S. beef cattle, dairy cows and sheep.

In 2009 and 2010 alone, the National Cancer Institute published studies linking red and/or processed meat to esophageal, bladder, breast and lung cancer. The evidence linking red and processed meat to colon and prostate cancer is so strong that the American Cancer Society advises people to limit consumption of these meats.

In the unsanitary conditions typical of confined feedlots used to fatten livestock, animals are routinely given continual low doses of antibiotics in feed to prevent sickness, promote faster growth and boost profits. The sheer volume of antibiotics being used may pose serious risks to public and environmental health, primarily because it may contribute to antibiotic resistance in pathogens that cause illness in people.

    I am responding to the latest news cast about hcg. People will say anything to try to put down a good thing when they don't understand it. Yes there are risks to hcg, that's why it's important to be monitored by a physician. At Dr. Kurani's we go in every 10 days for weight & blood pressure checks. The risks mentioned are definately something to be concerned about, but what is not mentioned is how bad the risks are for being overweight to begin with. This product shouldn't be used by someone who is just trying to lose a few pounds, but by people who have tried over and over again with no success. I feel Dr. Kurani takes extensive care of his patients, not only physically but mind and spirit as well, and it is in that whole treatment that the weight loss will work. If you are only dieting with HCG and not changing your lifestyle it will NOT be successful. The system that Dr. Kurani is using will be work with anyone who tries it with open mind, one who is willing to do what needs to be done to be healthy. I am a patient of his and this is the first time in over 30 years that a "diet" has worked for me, because of this doctors methods. I choose to change my life for the better with HCG because I am worth it!!!
