It’s Been Said: Hormones in cows and what it means for your health
This article shows a factual and well-written perspective from a registered dietician on hormones used in cattle. How do you feel this information compares with other claims you’ve heard about hormones used in milk and beef production?
Our View:
This article presents a fair overview of how hormones and even antibiotics are used in cattle, with science and sources to back the information. The author of the Fox News story, Felicia Stoler, compares many of the practices of giving animals hormones and antibiotics to human practices that never raise any ethical or health concerns.
Stoler – a mother and registered dietician – provides perspective on hormones and antibiotics used in farm animals and encourages consumers to think differently about their food choices.
