[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1429452, member: 12607"] Depending upon what kind of 'cancer' your wife had, 'hormones' may or may not even be a consideration. For instance... if she had melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma, or any number of other neoplasias... there's no link or association with any hormone. People with an agenda or no understanding of biology love to point fingers at 'hormones in meat'... even when the only ones there are the natural ones that we've been consuming for thousands of years. That said, if she is concerned about 'hormones' in food, while it's really straining at a gnat... she needs to stay away from beef sourced from intact female cattle (cows/heifers), as their estrogen levels will be far higher than beef from steer - whether implanted or not... and even at that, the estrogenic activity of that female-derived beef will be far less than if she's eating cabbage, peas, soybeans, etc., or still has her own ovaries.
