    Why is it in U.S. pork? Why not!?

  2. It’s impossible to avoid all the toxins we’re subjected to from all angles. For this reason I detox once every three days with 1) juice of large lemon in plain water on empty stomach (also dissolves arterial calcium—don’t leave on teeth)—2) take with tablespoon of coconut oil, calcium d glucarate, cilantro, selenium and reduced L-glutathione, things which can absorb poisons and pharmaceuticals out of the liver. Followed by a big dose of garlic with a meal. Remember to not take hot showers unless you have a chlorine filter there also—the gas will harm your lungs and accelerate aging.

    This article is not accurate because when consuming pork, it is impossible for the hormone to affect your body the way it might a pig- our stomach breaks it down into peptides like any other hormone or protein. The reason it might affect pork is because it is injected, and therefore is not broken down. Also, the idea of pigs being “beaten” in the US is completely false. The FDA has very rigid regulations and would not allow that to happen- a representative from the FDA watches the entire slaughter process and if anything looks suspicious, the animal is not sent to market and the farmer can suffer severe consequences. Pigs are also normally ushered into slaughter shoots with boards or paddles- this is common practice and is not cruel. It is the safest way to get pigs through without them injuring themselves or others. I could go on- please do not write articles that you do not have all of the correct information about, because it can send false messages to those who don’t understand agricultural practices or where their food comes from.

      I’m not a student. I’m a practicing Vet for 30 years now. You also miss the point that these animal husbandry practices are very cruel and inhumane. No animal should be injected with ractopamine for the sole purpose of greed and profit. You’re still young so you’ll learn – unless of course you come from Iowa.
