This is one nasty revelation. Our cows are tainted. Tainted with hormons. Reading this, I do not know if I should also alert and update my breastfeeding blog. Because if the hormons are in the meat, it would be in the milk too. Which will then passed on the the formula? Well, I am not sure about that but let’s see what they warned about eating too much red meats.
CHICAGO: Younger women who eat more red meat may be at higher risk of a certain kind of breast cancer, perhaps because of hormonal residues in beef cattle and other factors, according to a published study.
Data from a multiyear study involving the health histories of more than 90,000 US nurses show that “in this population of relatively young, premenopausal women, red meat intake was associated with a higher risk of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer,” said the study from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston.
Hormone receptor-positive tumors are those that carry certain proteins to which hormones, in this case estrogen and progesterone, bind, helping them grow. Those kinds of tumors have been on the increase in the United States, especially among middle-aged women.
