Consumption of meat and meat products by humans is increasing every year. This is because meat products are an indispensable source of vitamins, proteins and iron, which are important for the human health. However, it's good to think about the next time we buy meat, as most of them contain antibiotics and hormones.
It turns out that without a doctor's prescription we constantly intake through our food even small but unnecessary drugs that accumulate in our body and can lead to irreversible results.
The World Health Organization recommends the use of alternative medicines for such purposes. In other words, antibiotics that are not used to treat humans. Hormones are produced naturally by human and animal bodies, they regulate the metabolism and actively participate in the system of vital activity.
They usually inject animals with cheap synthetic hormones - anabolic and steroids, which cause accelerated development and growth. Since every kilogram is money for traders, it is important for them to achieve the desired result in a minimum amount of time.
Hormones in food are not completely destroyed during heat treatment. Therefore, all the hormones that are initially present in meat, milk, eggs, vegetables and fruit remain there, although sometimes in smaller doses. One of the problems is that these hormones can cause early puberty in children.
Hormones have carcinogenic properties - they can lead to cancer. Excess hormones can lead to hormonal imbalances, cause allergies and impair the reproductive function in both men and women. During pregnancy they can cause abnormalities in the development of the fetus.
Of course, the amount of hormones in meat is not so great and side effects can occur if consumed constantly and for a long period of time, as this is how hormones and drugs accumulate in the body.
