The EU has banned meat from US and Canada doe to the dangers of hormones in beef. More than a decade ago, Roy Hertz, then director of endocrinology at the National Cancer Institute and a leading authority on hormonal cancers, warned of the carcinogenic risks of estrogenic additives which can cause imbalances and increases in natural hormone levels. Hertz warned against the uncontrolled use of these potent carcinogens. No dietary levels of hormones are safe and a dime-sized piece of meat contains-billions of millions of molecules. Breast cancer has been raised as a primary concern in light of associations between breast cancer and oral contraceptives, whose estrogen dosage is known and controlled. The risk of breast and other cancers only increases with the uncontrolled use of hormones in meat. Here's a couple of worthwhile articles: http://www.healthcoalition.ca/hormones.html http://www.preventcancer.com/press/editorials/march10_92.htm

There are many weird things out there as for hormones in meat in generall Tyson one of the leading meat distributers in the USA injects hormones into their chicken and cows so that they will grow better and produce more meat and be "healthier" this sounds good right? well what we dont know is that what they are injecting is actually greatly increasing your chance of getting your period earlier in life (in girls) and colon cancer also increases your risk of heart attacks and blood clots... there are many other affects of the hormones these are just some of the main ones that caught my attention... also the way they "Kill" the animals they process causes them to release adrhenaline(don't know if thats how you spell it) but that isn't good for our body at all and when the brain releses it it gets in the muscles of the animals and thats what we eat and yeah i won't get into why its relessed but its not cool! hope that further answers your question!
