The growing concern about
the meat industry in the U.S. is being fueled more with Russia refusing to import any more meat product from America . Natural News reports that the main
reason behind this Russian refusal is the prevalence of ractopamine in U.S. meat products. The U.S. exports over $500 million of pork and beef to Russia every year. With this sudden decision from Russia , the meat industry in America has been totally taken aback, though the trade
authorities in the U.S. are claiming that ractopamine is absolutely safe
and are accusing Russia of politicizing the whole affair.
Ractopamine is generally
fed to animals in order to induce growth in them so that they can reach
productive age fast. As a matter of fact, most of the pigs in the U.S. are fed ractopamine though this particular drug is
banned in China , India and all of the European Union nations. It is well
known for its ill effects on pigs that sometimes even die due to excessive
consumption of ractopamine. It is reported that the consumption of ractopamine
may lead to cardiovascular problems, endocrine disorders, musculoskeletal
problems and even behavioral changes.
There is a concern
regarding the vitamin tablets as well. It is now being reported by Natural
News that synthetic vitamins that are widely used nowadays in order to
reduce the vitamin deficiency in the body capable of breeding diseases in the
human body. It has been seen that most of these vitamin tablets contain
chemicals like sodium benzoate, carnauba wax, methylcellulose titanium dioxide
and silicon. All these chemicals can result in diseases like cancer, arthritis,
Alzheimer’s disease and osteoporosis. Some multivitamins are also reported to
contain Aspartame which is one of the main origins of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
and Fibromyalgia.
