More About:

The Codex Alimentarius Commission – the joint food standards program of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has adopted global food safety standards for ractopamine hydrochloride.

Elanco Animal Health markets two brands of ractopamine hydrochloride – Paylean for swine and Optaflexx for cattle.

The commission’s action, which becomes final on July 7, adopts an Acceptable Daily Intake and Maximum Residue Levels for pig and cattle muscle, fat, liver and kidney. The human safety of meat products derived from pigs and cattle fed ractopamine had been confirmed by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives in 2004, 2006 and 2010 and by 27 regulatory authorities from around the world."



Ractopamine is growth hormone that:
-changes blood pressure, systolic pressure increases after intake, observed on mice and rats, slowly goes down after a while, dyastolic unchanged...
-chromosome aberration positive on lymphocytes, explained by secondary auto oxidative effect from ractopamine catechol that produces reactive intermediates
-carcinogenicity: not yet observed but causes benign leiomyomas( tumor of smooth muscles)in test on mice and rats due to beta-adrenergic activity
-causes muscle tremor used oral
-behaviour changes:feelings of reslessness, apprehension and anxiety


In EU its forbidden.


So having in mind these side effects, what do you think drug like that can do to human body? Do we indeed need any drugs-additives to the fodder?


0The past is still to close when Bowine Growth Hormone caused increase in cancer cases in USA over 2000 pct after the drug was introduced to arise yield of milk in cows, in 1994???!
