In fact, these researchers pointed out that conventionally-raisedfeed-lot animals are treated with antibiotics and probiotics to cause weight gain and they wanted to see ifshort-term antibiotic treatment to humans, given after endocarditis, caused weight gain (it did). Anotherreason to bu...
Like battery farmed chickens, the more human resources spent on breeding, the less profitable. So dog farmers industrialise the process to the point of horrendous exploitation. Puppies are kept in small cages living in their filth, with no play, no exercise, little light and virtually no human ...
During our research, it became clear that local beekeepers are passionate, knowledgeable and care about their bees. There’s almost a pet-like relationship between keepers and their hives. Unlike commercial processes, local beekeepers don’t use any harmful chemicals, artificial sweeteners or antibi...
While growth hormones and steroids are illegal in the U.S. poultry industry (unlike other meat industries), farmers often use antibiotics as growth agents, along with breed selectivity. There are a small number of heritage-style breeders in the U.S. that don't use these strains of birds. ...
But even looking at it from purely a human cost-benefit standpoint, animals are highly susceptible to sickness when raised in such close quarters. So they’re given antibiotics (note that this doesn’t just apply to chickens). When people eat the animals, they’re also consuming antibiotics....
If your chickens are living in crowded or unsanitary conditions, put the time and money in immediately to fix these problems. Also, be sure your chickens always have clean drinking water and fresh food, and make sure the water stays cool in the summer and unfrozen in the winter. Other tha...
it's misleading to suggest that hormone-free labeled chicken is any different from other chicken products in terms of hormone use. Although the FDA allows antibiotic administration for disease prevention in chickens, a withdrawal period and extensive testing for residual antibiotics are required before...

Nowadays, milking cows are given antibiotics and most are also injected with a genetically engineered form of bovine growth hormone (rBGH). A man-made or synthetic hormone used to artificially increase milk production, rBGH also increases blood levels of the insulin-growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in ...
After looking through that body of evidence it is a surprise to learn that studies are showing that BHT does not have an adverse impact, and may even have an anti-carcinogenic effect of BHT on the body. They suggest at the least that BHT may be safe to ingest at low levels. This be...
