Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Wow , that is good news!!! Why are pigs not subject to hormones? Whatever the reason, that is great news, since we are enjoying the benefits of their thyroid hormone:-)) As for the hormones in the food, milk etc. that we eat; I believe that is the primary reason for the obesity problem which has become epidemic, even among children. They don't call them " growth hormones " for nothing!!! Their purpose is to put on weight faster for the animal. Unfortunately, being mammals, the hormones do the same thing, weight gain, for everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I read somewhere that carbonated water leaches calcium from your bones. Re: No Hormones Given To Pigs In a related thing - the news had a story that children are breaking bones at an alarming rate. Instead of drinking milk they are drinking soda pop and it is causing weak bones. Likewise they also had a story about obesity. They showed this woman who is 38 and obese and disabled. As far as hormones - I read somewhere that the hormones given to animals can also wreak havoc with female hormones. Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 MM Louise, You are correct. Also, kids are not getting enough exercise-----playing, running, jumping--------bones do not grow without exercise. But noooooo, they sit in a classroom all day long! Something else that might interest you is that milk is not the best source of calcium because only 40% of the calcium in milk is bioavailable. Other natural sources of calcium need to be given to children in addition to milk. The hormones are absolutely wreaking havoc-------called breast cancer! Now add hormones and other estrogen mimickers to the HRT and birth control pills-----adds up to low sperm counts in males too!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Phosporus blocks the absorption of calcium. It binds with it. It is a major ingredient in sodas. -- RE: Re: No Hormones Given To Pigs I read somewhere that carbonated water leaches calcium from your bones.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Oh yea, that's right. I should think more before I jump in. Can I blame it on brain fog ?
