 The agency is whitewashing this issue; they're trying to tell people that the beef supply is safe, when in fact, there's mad cow disease in existence right now across this country. And now we have proof of it with this confirmed mad cow. Finally, the USDA actually has one more confirmed case of mad cow disease right here from U.S. herds. But of course, that's no reason for consumers to stop buying beef, we're all told. Keep eating that cow flesh, folks, and don't worry about mad cow disease: your government is protecting you.
The coming collapse of the U.S. beef industry
The U.S. |
| Here's my opinion of what happened: First, the cow gets mad cow disease, probably from consuming spinal cord tissue and brain parts of other dead cows that are typically fed to cattle as part of the everyday beef operations here in the United States. This was a Texas cow, born and raised somewhere in the United States, it seems, and slaughtered in Texas. Turns out it was a downer cow, which means it couldn't walk. So where do they send this cow? Well, to the pet food slaughterhouse, of course. |

 REPPED: Consumer health advocate Mike Adams (aka "The Health Ranger") has a beef against shoppers buying processed meat this Christmas. And to show people exactly what they're getting when they purchase processed meat products, he's posted a shockingly disgusting photo tour of a typical processed meat Christmas gift product: The 48-Oz. Hillshire Farm "Yard-O-Beef" Summer Sausage. The photos are available online right now at: http://www.newstarget.com/phototour_yardobeef_1. |

| Just test all the cows, and you could reassure everybody. You would open up new multi-million dollar markets all around the world that have closed their markets to U.S. beef since the discovery of mad cow disease. It simply makes good economic sense.
Wouldn't the USDA want to open those markets for U.S. cattle ranchers? Why wouldn't it conduct the testing of all cows to prove that the cows are safe? The answer, again, is because to conduct this testing would reveal how widespread mad cow disease really is in this country. |
| People are going to die, and the beef industry is going to be in shambles. They're going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars.
Why? Because they refuse to tell the truth! They refuse to enact safety standards that other countries now have as routine! They refuse to test all the cows. The USDA just doesn't want to tell people anything, it seems. It didn't want to tell them where the cow came from. There's all this secrecy. You know, if this is supposed to be an open system of interlocking safeguards, why doesn't the USDA stand up and tell us the truth? |
| A system in which the USDA actually attacks cattle ranchers and beef companies that want to conduct their own mad cow testing and where the USDA (in my opinion) falsifies these test results or gets them wrong so frequently that the Inspector General has to come along and send the results out to another country to get accurate lab results? This is our system of "interlocking safeguards" in this country? What a whitewash! |

 It's because the Bush Administration has made it illegal for beef ranchers to test their own cows for mad cow disease. The USDA actually sued one rancher that tried to conduct safety testing in order to comfort his overseas buyers of U.S. beef. U.S. authorities said, nope, we can't have any more safety testing in this country unless the feds conduct it -- in which case the government can cover up all the positive mad cow detection results and pretend that U.S. beef is perfectly safe for mass consumption.

 Why not ban beef liver along with beta carotene? A 100-gram portion of beef liver provides 35,000 IU of vitamin A. This is the kind of misinformation health authorities distribute, without batting an eyelash.
It turns out that alcohol consumption will cause instability in the beta carotene molecule, and inhibit its ability to convert to vitamin A, which is one likely reason why alcoholics get cancer in the first place. [American Journal Clinical Nutrition 69: 1071-85, 1999] Researchers recommend that individuals who regularly drink alcohol should take beta carotene with vitamins C and E . |

 This can all be from the toxicity that the beef is creating. We take them off that poor-quality beef diet. We detoxify them and put them on a short-term vegetarian diet, if possible. And I'm talking about only three or four days. Detoxify their body with a short 24-hour fast. This will clean a body out, and then you introduce a quality beef product. The animal no longer has the allergy.
Mike: Where can people find this food? Then I want to ask you about these other ingredients.

 This is a complicated question, but note that every protein, carbohydrate, and fat is different: þ20,000 HUT of protease can break down 225 grams of dairy protein in one hour. beef or soy would be different. þ30,000 DU of amylase can break down 100 grams of potato starch in one hour. The starch found in a carrot would be different. þ1,000 FCCFIP of lipase can break down 5 grams of vegetable oil in one minute. The fat found in beef or an avocado would be different.

 It contains proportionately 58 times more iron than raw spinach and 28 times more than raw beef liver. It is nature's richest source of vitamin B-12 (4 to 6 times more than raw beef liver), has high amounts of the strong antioxidant super oxide dismutase (sod), vitamins (including all the B vitamins), as well as other nutrients.59

 But perhaps the most important Nebraska fact is that it sits in the middle of one of the most productive agricultural systems on Earth. beef and corn dominate the economy, and the Sand Hills region in central Nebraska sports some of the most successful cattle ranching areas in the entire United States.
To the casual visitor, the Sand Hills look green and grassy, and in pre-European times they supported tremendous herds of bison - hence their high productivity for modern-day beef. |

 When you shop for beef, remember that the more white marbling in the beef, the higher its fat content. "Select" beef has the least amount of marbling, followed by "Choice," then "Prime." Choose "Select" beef whenever possible.
The Deli_
Unfortunately, the deli is limited in low-fat choices. Most of the deli meats are high in fat. The leanest choices of meat at the deli are turkey breast, roast beef with the fat removed, and ham. Roasted chicken is a good choice, but remove the skin before you eat it, since that's where most of the fat is. |

 Cunningham tracked the beef and dairy consumption in terms of grams per day for a one-year period, 1955-1956, in fifteen countries. New Zealand, United States, and Canada had the highest consumption, respectively. The lowest meat and dairy consumption was in Japan. The difference between the highest and lowest was nearly thirty-fold: 43.8 grams/day for New Zealanders versus 1.5 for Japan. Cunningham found a highly significant positive correlation between deaths from lymphomas and beef and dairy ingestion in the fifteen countries analyzed. |

 That beef didn't come out of the sky; it came from the flesh of a living animal. When you purchase that flesh, you create economic incentives for people to keep raising those animals -- to give birth to another cow, raise it, slaughter it and put it on the shelf to replace the beef you just bought; whereas, if you buy organic beef, you create demand on the organic side. You reward the organic farmer for treating the cattle in a better way. So, you vote with your dollars; you create demand curves that are then met by supply. |

 American diets by and large contain great amounts of saturated fat and omega-6 fatty acids and are relatively deficient in omega-3 fats. Grass-fed beef provides a fatty acid profile superior to corn-fed beef raised on synthetic anabolic steroids and growth-promoting agents that are used to quickly fatten and mature the cattle.

 In the United States, rates of alcoholism and wife beating are much higher in towns, cities and counties that consume and produce more beef. The statistics clearly show this association, as you will see for yourself if you do a little digging on the subject. I can't say whether this holds true for other countries.)
Of course, there are lots of smart people who still eat a little beef from time to time. But they're eating less with each passing year, and they're especially avoiding processed, packaged meats (which are now known to cause various cancers). |

| The AGE content of beef boiled for one hour is 22 kU/g, while broiling beef for fifteen minutes results in a value of 60 kU/g. It doesn't make much difference whether you broil or fry a chicken breast for fifteen minutes; you will end up with about the same amount of AGEs: 58 kU/g and 61 kU/g, respectively When it comes to tofu, the choice between raw (8 kU/g) and broiled (41 kU/g) is quite dramatic. At the other end of the scale are fresh fruits and vegetables, which barely make the charts (apples 0.13 kU/g, bananas 0.01 kU/g, and carrots 0.1 kU/g). |

| It doesn't mean that eating beef makes you stupid. Rather, it means that the dumber a person is, the more beef they're likely to eat and the less likely they are to seek out and consume healthy oils like DHA.
If you don't believe me, walk into any cowboy steakhouse and try to strike up a conversation about healthy oils and nutrition. You'll be met with blank stares that look dumber than the cows from which the steaks came in the first place. Let's face it: Cowboy steak lovers do not exactly represent the more sophisticated thinkers in society today. There is a nutritional reason behind that. |

 Beef hormones" are not something to be avoided if you are a fan of organic meat, but the principle that one country cannot ban the ingredients in food from another country without substantial scientific evidence to back it up; the EU lost that challenge by the United States in 1988 at the GATT, but rather than comply has opted to pay about one hundred million dollars a year in penalties on exports to the United States to keep growth-stimulating hormones out of European beef.
One of the most significant trade decisions, however, has spun a different way in the long haul of history. |
