Immorality Tale
by TC | Fri, Aug 17, 2007

Chances are, your olive oil is really soy oil. There's a drug that might cure cancer, but it's being ignored. Certain protein powders contain maltodextrin instead of protein. Gordon Gekko said, "Greed is good," but who ever thought they'd become words to live by?

Corn-Fed Kills - 07.05.07
by TC | Thu, Jul 05, 2007

Feeding corn to cattle is bad news. It leaves them open to infections that require antibiotics. It also alters the fatty-acid ratio of the beef. Nutritionists recommend a 3 to 1 or 2 to 1 ratio of omega 6 fatty acids to omega 3 fatty acids, but the meat from corn-fed cattle has a fatty acid ratio of nearly 20 to 1! However, grass-fed cattle have a fatty acid ratio that's in the exact range that nutritionists recommend. Eating a steak or burger from grass-fed cattle is almost similar, health-wise, to eating wild salmon.
