[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 329"] Here is something interesting concerning hormones. I don't know where it was originally from, so I cannot verify anything stated, but here it is: Beef Hormones in Perspective The hormone levels in beef produced using growth promotants are well within the range of natural levels of the hormones. Beef from a bull (which is not castrated and to which hormones have not been administered) contains testosterone levels over ten times higher than the amount in beef from a steer (which is castrated) that has received hormones for growth promotion. Hormone levels (estradiol equivalent) in beef are far less than those found in eggs. A person would need to eat over 6 kg's of beef from animals treated with these hormones in order to equal the amount of those hormones in one egg. For example, a hen's eqq (about 50 grams) contains aboutn 45 times as many estradiol equivalents as 250 grams of steer meat raised with this natural hormone. A one pint glass of milk from an untreated cow contains about 9 times as much estradial as a 250 gram portion of meat from a steer raised using hormones. Wheat germ and soybean oil contain phytoestrogens at several thousand times higher hormone equivalent concentrations than a serving of beef from a steer raised with growth promotants. The amounts of estradial, progesterone and testosterone in animals raised using hormones as growth promotants are extremely low compared with their production in humans. Even a young boy would need to eat more than 7000 grams (about 16 pounds) of beef raised using estradial daily in order to produce a one percent increase in his production of this hormone. A 500-gram portion of beef raised using estradial contains approximately 15,000 times less of this hormone than the amount produced daily by the average man, and about nine million times less than the amount produced by a pregnant women. Also, one bottle of beer has more estrogen than a whole beef implanted with an estrogen based hormone. [/QUOTE]
