jts Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 New study on sugar:http://www.drperlmutter.com/sugar-risks-go-beyond-weight-gain/#more-3587From the quoted link:http://www.drperlmutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Am_J_Clin_Nutr-2014-Te_Morenga-ajcn.113.081521-1.pdfI don't see detailed information about what the people in the study ate. This is important because the body uses nothing in isolation. For example carrot juice is high in sugar, which feeds cancer. But as Dr. Patrick Vickers explains, the sugar in carrot juice does not have the same effect as sugar in some other foods. Remember context. Beware of studies that ignore context.

dldelancey Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Comparisons made between antibiotic use in humans and antibiotic use in animals are not meaningful. Different drugs, different uses, different dosages, hugely different population, different methods of collecting data, not to mention that the most common drug-resistant human infections are neither food-borne nor possible to pass from animal to human.It may be true that humans use too many antibiotics. It may also be true that too many antibiotics are given to animals. It is not logical to make those arguments based on the percentages of total used by humans vs animals.

Backlighting Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Which antibiotic used should be a consideration.I suspect the effects & performance of some or all differ.-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jts Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Howard Lyman, former 4th generation rancher who refuses to eat meat, explains why the animals are given antibiotics. It's because they are sick. Why are they sick? He explains that too and it ain't pretty. Read his book "Mad Cowboy".Howard Lyman was on the Oprah Winfrey show and he grossed Oprah out.http://www.madcowboy.com/02_OP_Transcript.000.html--- quote ---Oprah: It has just stopped me cold from eating another burger!--- end quote ---That started a lawsuit against both Howard Lyman and Oprah Winfrey. Howard Lyman won because he told the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
