So what's the big deal with eating chicken? All this fuss about
steroids, antibiotics and the "supposed" effects it has on people
specifically women: fibroids, earlier start of menstruation cycle,
people becoming immune to medication, and many more things. Let's look a
little deeper to discuss what is safe for you.
Why the need for antibiotics and steroids?
As we all know, the world is growing. With growth comes more of a demand for supply. The normal growth cycle for animals, and plants, takes too long when it comes to supplying the consumer. If you notice pretty much everywhere there is a chicken shop and a burger joint on every corner. Not to mention McDonalds, Chick Fil-A, Wendy's and the like. So where do they get all of their meats from so quickly? You guessed it- injecting animals so they quickly grow. These growth hormones are placed in their foods or injected in their bodies
Now in theory it makes absolute sense- more people means the need for more food so why not come up with a quick solution that satisfies everyone? Well it gets much deeper than that. These antibiotics and steroids- while they help supply more chicken and other foods- are not safe when eaten in abundance as well as while it "seems" this is done for the consumer- it's really all about the money. Supplying meats quicker means more money and so by any means necessary this must be done. This article will not go into the politics of this process, but just understand when it is said these chemicals are safe, it's not being said for your well-being, it's being said so you will continue to buy it!
Check out the documentary Food,Inc for more information on how chickens are treated.
There are cases of people now becoming immune to antibiotics because it is already in their systems from the chicken, and other meats. Doctors are now beginning to advise women who have cyst or are prone to fibroids to cut back on chicken or at least begin consuming meats and produce without the use of antibiotics and steroids. Studies are even being done to see if these growth hormones need to be removed altogether because as mentioned people are beginning to become immune to prescribed antibiotics since it is already in their system. Studies are also showing that growth chemicals used in dairy rBST while deemed safe, when interacting with other chemicals in the body then promote the growth of cancer.
So What Now?
This is why it's so important to understand what to purchase. As discussed in a few articles, yes healthier food options may cost more but your health is priceless! So here are the best options to remove these growth hormones as much as possible:
Buy organic or locally grown meats and other products- both do not have antibiotics and hormones.
Look for dairy products that say- organic or not treated rBST hormones.
Eat less fast foods- unless organic ALL of the meats, produce, and dairy are treated with antibiotics, hormones, and pesticides.
Eat out less altogether- as mentioned unless the restaurant is organic or supplies locally grown foods, it is probably stocked full of yuckiness (sorry to be so blunt but it's the truth).
So it's best to eat more home cooked foods.
So hopefully this article at least has you thinking of some immediate changes that you can make for you and your family if you have one. It's time to start thinking proactively instead of reactively. We do not have to wait for a doctor's report to make some changes let's make those changes NOW!!
