Immortal cell lines have a long and complicated story, from the first recognized immortal human cell lines taken from…
Growth Hormones Fed to Beef Cattle Damage Human Health
Almost all beef cattle entering feedlots in the United States are given hormone implants to promote faster growth. The first product used for this purpose DES (diethylstilbestrol) was approved for use in beef cattle in 1954. An estimated two-thirds of the nation’s beef cattle were treated with DES in 1956 (Marcus, 1994, cited…
