Not one week ago, I posted information here regarding being AWARE about the beef you purchase and from WHERE you purchase beef. Dr. Mercola blows out of the water this massive wonder of WHY America allows the drug Ractopamine which is prohibited in 160 other countries to be used in the beef here.
At issue is the high level of toxicity in the Ractopamine which is used before a cow goes to slaughter:
“How does a drug marked, “Not for use in humans. Individuals with cardiovascular disease should exercise special caution to avoid exposure. Use protective clothing, impervious gloves, protective eye wear, and a NIOSH-approved dust mask” become “safe” in human food?
With no washout period?”
Presented here is a very good question. It is a question that we should all be asking our Washington officials…How DOES this happen? Greed, the arrogance of man, and shameless corporate lobbying is going to be the ruination of us all unless we stay educated.
