Is the FDA Protecting Our Health or Harming Us?

Americans love their beef so much that burgers are practically a national pastime, making up about 75% of their diet. Whether dining out or hitting the drive-thru, beef is the star of the show. But here's the kicker: all this beefy goodness has been linked to cancers and other not-so-fun diseases in both kids and grown-ups.

FACT: American cattle farmers have a secret recipe for fattening cattle

It's called silage, a cocktail of grain, antibiotics, and growth hormones. Not exactly a cattle's dream meal, but great for quick profits.

FACT: In Italy, these shenanigans and all preservatives are banned

FACT: The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) gives conventional farmers the green light to use human waste as fertilizer.

That's right, it's totally legal to sprinkle human waste on farmland. Cities and towns flush out tons of waste daily. Scientists have found this fertilizer is a mixed bag of dangerous germs and heavy metals like arsenic, chromium, lead, and mercury, which are nowhere to be found in livestock manure.

FACT: Did you know the average baby is born with 200 toxins and carcinogens from mom?

By age 2, most kids have already hit the toxin jackpot.

FACT: Love strawberries?

Watch out! Conventionally grown strawberries come with 45 pesticide residues, including six neurotoxins that mess with your brain, memory, and reproductive tissues. So, go organic with your strawberries!

FACT: Skip the "Farm Raised" seafood.

Always go for “wild caught” fish, because farmed fish live in pens or ocean nets, eating their own waste and collecting toxins and carcinogens like they're going out of style.

HOW TO PREVENT CANCER AND OTHER DISEASES:

Your body is like a chemistry set, balancing between alkaline and acid levels. A more alkaline body is like a bouncer at a club, keeping cancer at bay. But if you're puffing on cigarettes and downing drinks like a fish, you're cranking up the acidity...and eating unnaturally raised beef is like throwing a party for acidity, inviting cancers and other party crashers.

Spice up your diet with quality foods like lean organic beef, chicken, turkey, and seafood. They’re packed with nutrients like iron and amino acids. Remember, what you eat shows up on the outside too, affecting your skin, hair, and nails. So, eat like you're prepping for a photo shoot!

This Italian Diva always goes for the best quality without breaking the bank. My menu usually features lamb, veal, duck, chicken, venison, and turkey. Beef is a rare guest, but when it shows up, it's organic, grass-fed, or USDA Process Verified Grass Fed. This ensures the cow enjoyed a diet of 99% grass and some fresh air. Organic cattle live the good life.
