    Research paper help...

    I'm writing a research paper on he added hormones to meat and dairy and how they effect humans. It's due Friday so I don't have much time. I'm having trouble finding what three of the six added hormones are. I know estrogen, testosterone , and progesterone are all added. Anyone know what the last three are? If you know of a page or can find it I'd appreciate it. The source would be helpful also.

    Here you go buddy.

    What are the different hormones used now by the meat and dairy industries?

    There are six different kinds of steroid hormones that are currently approved by FDA for use in food production in the US: estradiol, progesterone, testosterone , zeranol, trenbolone acetate, and melengestrol acetate. Estradiol and progesterone are natural female sex hormones; testosterone is the natural male sex hormone; zeranol, trenbolone acetate and melengesterol acetate are synthetic growth promoters (hormone-like chemicals that can make animals grow faster). Currently, federal regulations allow these hormones to be used on growing cattle and sheep, but not on poultry (chickens, turkeys, ducks) or hogs (pigs). The above hormones are not as useful in increasing weight gain of poultry or hogs.

    As mentioned earlier, FDA allows the use of the protein hormone rbGH to increase milk production in dairy cattle. This protein hormone is not used on beef cattle

    I don't think that's the case. Clothing companies are just making clothes that show off and focus on them more. Not to mention there's 12 year old girls wearing frederricks push up bras and padded bathing suits now.
