Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

That’s because my topic today is a pair of new scientific studies suggesting that poultry on factory farms are routinely fed caffeine, active ingredients of Tylenol and Benadryl, banned antibiotics and even arsenic.
“We were kind of floored,†said Keeve E. Nachman, a co-author of both studies and a scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Center for a Livable Future. “It’s unbelievable what we found.â€
He said that the researchers had intended to test only for antibiotics. But assays for other chemicals and pharmaceuticals didn’t cost extra, so researchers asked for those results as well.

I would raise my own chickens to eat if I wasn't living in an apartment right now. I miss those days, fresh eggs and chicken were always good. Not fed all kinds of garbage to fatten em up, 100% natural is always better IMO.

Wasn't arsenic the ingredient con men fed to horses back in the day to make them look fatter and their coats look glossier?

My wife freaked a few weeks ago when she heard on the news that our brand of formula was found to have arsenic in it. We use this ultra-hippy organic stuff that is purchased from a ultra-yuppy food store. The arsenic came from organic brown rice used in the formula. We checked with our doctor and she said it was fine.
They say things like 20x higher than other formulas to freak people out, when we are talking about .001 parts per million vs. .020 parts per million.
