SAMA HOOLE: UK/EU: Growth hormones in cattle completely banned since 1988. US (where used): Hormone-treated beef: 3.8 ng Untreated beef: 1.9 ng For perspective: Eggs: 11 ng Birth control pill: 35,000,000 ng

"Cattle are pumped full of growth hormones!"

Sounds unnatural. Except here's what they don't tell you:

US (where used): Hormone-treated beef: 3.8 ng Untreated beef: 1.9 ng For perspective: Eggs: 11 ng Birth control pill: 35,000,000 ng The difference between treated and untreated is smaller than natural variation between cuts. What actually disrupts hormones: Soy (massive phytoestrogens) Plastics (BPA, phthalates) Seed oils Sugar Birth control pills 

Not your steak from Tesco. 

SAMA HOOLE: Your body produces its own antioxidants (glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase) far more powerful than anything in plants.

"You need antioxidants from plants to fight free radicals!"

Here's what they don't tell you: Your body produces its own antioxidants (glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase) far more powerful than anything in plants. Eating beef provides: - Building blocks for your body's antioxidant systems. - Carnosine (powerful antioxidant only in meat). - Anserine (only in meat). - Taurine (only in animals). Plant antioxidants are: - Poorly absorbed. - Often bound to antinutrients. - Less bioavailable. - Unnecessary when you remove the thing creating oxidative stress. What creates oxidative stress? - Seed oils (polyunsaturated fats oxidize easily). - Sugar (glycation and oxidation). - Processed foods. - Chronic inflammation. Carnivore diet eliminates all of these. Your body's natural antioxidant systems handle the rest.
