Could one potentially see that the toxins that are skimmed off of the water surface (when boiling) were potentially soy-based? +++Hi , No matter what the animal consumes, soy, toxins, vaccines, antibiotics, etc. they do not get into their meat or fat anyway. Soy contains protein, fat and carbs, so it gets digested by any animal the way our bodies do. The protein portion is broken down chemically into separate amino acids. The carb portion is broken down into glucose. The fats are broken down into different kinds of fatty acids. There's no intact soy in the muscle, fat, eggs from chickens, and other tissues we eat.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 OK...now I'm confused? If what an animal eats does not affect the meat of the animal, then why do you recommend we eat organic, grass-fed beef? I don't get it? thanks, Gail (curlygirl) > > > > Hello, > > > > I will be trying to make some pork lard from fat very soon (as per the recipe on this site) once I find a good source of pork fat.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hi Gail, Meat that is organic and grass-fed will be more nutritious than meat that is not. That is, it will have more " good stuff " in it. However, you are not consuming the soy or the corn or the pesticides that the cow consumed. I think what Bee means with her answer below, is that non-organic meat is not necessarily " toxic. " Grassfed is better, but " normal " isn't bad. Does that make sense?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 > > Although, if a cow is sick the sickness can be passed onto the person consuming the sick cow? +++Hi Gail, No, since no one can get sick from any outside sources except #4 below. Four Causes of Failing Health: 1. Lack of proper nutrition and oxygen. 2. Accumulation of toxins, poisons, and waste. 3. Lowered vitality due to stress, shock, injury, emotional upsets, relationship or financial worries and concerns, etc. 4. Nutritional status inherited from your parents upon conception, which can be corrected by proper nutrition. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
