The ranchers and the one dairy farmer I have met, are very careful with their stock - it's their livelihood. But they don't buy a lot of feed, they use pasture, and the cattle could get it from natural stuff.

One thing the USDA have cracked down on here is pigs. Guys who raise pigs commercially, have to raise them off the ground. At least the one pig farmer I talked to, said that. He was out of business. Of course, he still raises a few pigs for his and his family's use. I told him he was crazy. I suspect pigs would be the worst, because they root a lot. OTOH, they get a lot more prepared food, mixtures of soy, corn, etc.

Regards.

Hi JW:I posted something here a couple of weeks ago I believe, from Cornell, which said that if animals are fed aflatoxin-tainted feed the aflatoxin is detectible in the meat or milk from the animal. I have no trouble believing that some cattle producers will feed that stuff to their cattle if they think no one will notice.I guess my point is that my suspicion is that it is not the ALA itself that is carcinogenic, but the traces of aflatoxin that may be in the bottle of oil you buy next week, but which may very well not have been in the bottle you bought last week. During a lifetime, simply from probability, we will get hit with a dose of aflatoxin from time to time and have no way of knowing. But it seems there is enough of that to show up in the doubling of advanced prostate cancer among those who consume the most ALA from plant sources.Rodney. , "jwwright" <jwwright@e...> wrote:I have wondered what happens to the cattle if fed the 400 stuff.
