Comments on: is the use of growth hormones on poultry for food production legal in the United States? http://www.hghexposed.com/is-the-use-of-growth-hormones-on-poultry-for-food-production-legal-in-the-united-states Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:06:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Master of My Own Remote Control! http://www.hghexposed.com/is-the-use-of-growth-hormones-on-poultry-for-food-production-legal-in-the-united-states/comment-page-1#comment-671 Master of My Own Remote Control!

Look at this link, but there are several articles/lawsuits regarding the same if you google it: http://www.foodservicewarehouse.com/education/health-safety/growth-hormones.aspx . Hope this helps ;) That's why I try to buy organic (which is also controversial on the topic), free-range, or from a local farmer already processed. This is for my family, as I have actually been a vegetarian most of my life. I would assume that it is not banned, as it is legally used in other animals.

Because we eat poultry or beef that could have growth hormones still in the meat of these products, I think that this could be a factor to why the children today are maturing faster than they did before and that media actually is not to blame? It's something to contemplate... I have heard that food companies such as Tyson, etc. injects growth hormones in their chickens.

Poultry does not use hormones in their feed or otherwise. Hormones that are used in other animals, such as beef, are naturally occurring hormones that the body produces on its own anyway. (This is to the best of my knowledge, but I encourage everyone to do their own research.)
