Lunch meat may cause bladder cancer

(NaturalNews) A recent study published in the journal Cancer links nitrate-containing cold cut meats to bladder cancer. According to the study, people who eat red meat cold cuts that contain nitrates or nitrites have a nearly 30 percent increased risk of developing bladder cancer. “Nitrate and nitrite are precursors to N-nitroso compounds (NOCs), which induce tumors in many organs, including the bladder, in multiple animal species,” explains the study. Nitrates are added to meats as a preservative and as a color-protector. They make the meat appear fresher for a longer period of time. But these additives are highly toxic and dangerous to health. “[S]odium nitrite, when consumed by the human body, forms some of the most highly carcinogenic chemical compounds ever recorded in the world of foods and nutrition. They’re call nitrosamines, and these nitrosamines directly promote cancers throughout the body, most notably colorectal cancer,” explains Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, in his book Spam Filters for Your Brain . Roughly 300,000 men and women…

Be Careful In Choosing The Right Place To Buy Your Organic Meat

May 17, 2010 Natural News By David Gutierrez An undercover investigation into an organic slaughterhouse has challenged the assumption that ethically certified meat is any better than the regular kind.

Think eating "organic" meat is okay? Think again

(NaturalNews) An undercover investigation into an organic slaughterhouse has challenged the assumption that ethically certified meat is any better than the regular kind. The British animal welfare organization Animal Aid secretly planted cameras inside a slaughterhouse operated by Tom Lang, whose facility had been certified for the “humane slaughter” of organic animals by the Soil Association. The organization chose Lang’s slaughterhouse precisely because it is certified to the highest standard available in the United Kingdom. Forty hours of secret footage uncovered tightly packed animals being driven up to the facility, where they were chased into the factory by men beating them with sticks. Inside the facility, the animals are beaten once more to be herded into place. In one case, a man is seen punching, kicking and kneeing a pig, then striking it with a steel stunning tong at least 20 times, as the animal screams. Striking animals is a violation of Soil Association …

Commercial animal husbandry practices often involve feeding livestock mass amounts of animal waste, including chicken litter, which contains chicken feces, bedding, feathers, and other unknown residue. Long before the days of

American Humane Certified is raising the bar in animal agriculture

(NaturalNews) Proper animal husbandry is a vital component to any farming operation, whether large or small. With the advent of agricultural industrialization came the tendency to raise ever more animals in increasingly inhumane conditions, all in order to remain competitive and continue to turn a profit. Thanks to the American Humane Association (AHA) and its Humane Certification program, producers are raising the bar in humane animal husbandry standards and setting themselves above the rest. The oldest humane association in America, AHA has been working for over 100 years to improve the welfare of both children and animals. In more recent years, the organization has developed a certification program that helps consumers choose food products that come from humanely-raised animals. Whether one eats animal products or not, it is important that animals raised for food are treated decently throughout their life cycle, or “from birth to the knock box” as it is put in the industry. Animals that produce food products like milk or eggs must also be given proper living conditions, and AHA has established guidelines for …

Does Cholesterol Really Matter?

(NaturalNews) I’d like to shine the spotlight on one of medicine’s sacred cows- the belief that lowering cholesterol with drugs protects against heart attacks and premature death. Our obsession with cholesterol began in the 1950s when studies linked high consumption of animal fat with high rates of heart disease. This opened the door for clinical trials that laid the foundation of a new paradigm: the cholesterol theory of cardiovascular disease. This theory has had profound ramifications. It changed the way we eat (fats bad, carbohydrates good) and contributed to our problems with obesity and diabetes. It wormed its way into “clinical practice guidelines”- cholesterol management has become a “standard of care” that doctors are expected to follow. It spawned the invasive heart surgery industry, based on the presumption that cholesterol-laden blockages must be bypassed or propped open. And it led to the creation of the best-selling class of medications in history: cholesterol-lowering statin…
