DR. PAUL MASON: gram for gram, the soy protein has at least a thousand times the estrogenic activity of the hormone treated beef.

The data actually showed that the death from all cancers was about four times as strongly associated with plant protein than it was for animal protein.  --Dr. Paul Mason

The China Study data: Plant protein worse than animal protein.

She went and performed and exhaustive analysis of the raw data from The China Study.  And what she actually found was fascinating.  So remember that this book claimed that animal protein increases risk of dying from cancer.  The data actually showed that the death from all cancers was about four times as strongly associated with plant protein than it was for animal protein.  Now special attention also comes in for wheat protein.  So when you actually look at the data wheat protein is a far stronger associate of cardiovascular disease than animal proteins.  So these directly contradict the central tenant of this book . . .

So gram for gram, the soy protein has at least a thousand times the estrogenic activity of the hormone treated beef.  If you're worried about hormones in beef you should be more worried about soy.  

1:06.  Comment from Adam Vulcanstein 184 who asked if we really should be concerned about hormones in meat.

1:08.  Not really.  So let's get some background here hormone growth promotions is legal in the United States and in Australia although not in Tasmania and basically what they do they get these little implants that they implant into the animals ear and that slowly eludes these hormones.
