We have been genetically modifying food for centuries. Do you honestly think all non GM crops and livestock are in their natural "wild" state? It just takes longer to do it the old fashioned way. Mating specimens with desirable mutations is the way of farming. Do you think these plants and animals would be the way they are without human intervention? Environmental risks are minimal. Crops and animals have been modified for our benefit, not theirs. Crop plants put entirely too much of their energy into ovary and seed production to survive in the wild without our tender care. Domestic animals can't cut it in the wild either. With our tender care though, we produce a greater quantity of highly nutritious food in a smaller area.

As far as the horomones in beef and milk go. If these horomones were injected directly into the body they would have an impact, but they're not. They are destroyed by the digestive process just like the rest of the food. After the stomach and intestines, the next stop is the liver. The liver is especially adept at breaking down horomones. The point is, none survive the process. Oral anabolic steroids have to be chemically modified to survive the liver. This is very hard on the liver and produces toxic by-products. That's why oral anabolics are so hard on the liver. Anyway, back to the topic at hand!

The last I heard on the discovery channel, the maturing process in adolescents is affected by food consumption in general. Large quantities of high energy food can stimulate early growth and maturity. Girls seem particularly susceptible to this. Fatty foods seem to have a strong link to growth spurts and puberty. Horomones are all based on cholesterol and cholesterol levels rise when fatty food is eaten. Perhaps this is a contributing factor. I personally think that the rapid growth and early development are a natural reaction of the body to an abundance of food and energy to fuel it. Food is the #1 anabolic stimulant you know! You can't grow without it, and the more you have of it, the more you grow!
