 Dear Reader,
Interested in playing a little game? It could get risky, but it sure is exciting!
Go to your local supermarket and head right for the meat section. Grab a package of whatever you'd like — beef, chicken, pork — it doesn't matter what.
Okay, good. Now here's the fun part — take it home and prepare dinner for your family. Say a little prayer and dig in, because according to a new study, you've got a 1 in 4 chance of having exposed your family to drug-resistant bacteria...
Yes, the bacteria is likely killed off during cooking, but as you're preparing dinner, there is risk of contamination. And if you're like me, the risk could be higher — because I'm a guy who likes a rare steak.
For now, though, back to the study. Staph (the bacteria in question) was found in nearly half of the tested samples. Of the infected samples, 52 per cent contained a strain of staph that couldn't be beaten by at least three types of antibiotics (some went up undefeated against as many as NINE).
This is the first time a study has revealed just how much of the meat in supermarkets is contaminated with drug-resistant bacteria, which isn't among the bacteria for which the government routinely tests meat.
The bacteria was found inside the meat, meaning it wasn't introduced through handling. Instead, the report points to "densely-stocked industrial farms, where food animals are steadily fed low doses of antibiotics," calling them "ideal breeding grounds for drug-resistant bacteria."
Is anyone really shocked by this? If you're reading this, you already know what a bad idea pumping our food full of antibiotics is. The mainstream might be starting to catch up to that notion — but is it too late?

Sleepless? Keep it natural
Q: When I asked my doctor about taking melatonin, she wrote me a prescription for a drug called Rozerem instead. She said it does the same thing as melatonin, but that it has the benefit of being approved by medical authorities. It is really better than melatonin?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: Rozerem's (prescribed as Ramelteon in the UK) manufacturer describes it as "a melatonin receptor agonist." In plain English, that means that Rozerem activates the same receptors that melatonin does. But just because it activates the same receptors as melatonin and has the so-called "advantage" of being "approved", doesn't mean Rozerem is completely safe. In very high doses, it can cause liver cancer and foetal deformities in lab animals. It's true that the doses required to cause these problems are substantially higher on a per-pound basis than those recommended for humans. But in contrast, natural melatonin, even at very high doses, has the opposite effect — it actually protects against cancer.
Less serious side effects of Rozerem in human trials included fatigue (4 per cent as opposed to 2 per cent for the placebo group); dizziness (5 per cent as opposed to 3 per cent for the placebo group); nausea, insomnia, and upper respiratory infection (all 3 per cent as opposed to 2 per cent); and muscle pain, depression, swallowing difficulties, and joint pain (all 2 per cent as opposed to 1 per cent).
No doubt a patent medication company spokesperson would point out that these side effects are minimal as compared with those of other approved patent medications. And they are.
But by taking Rozerem, you're exposing yourself unnecessarily to potential side effects, however minimal, that can be avoided by using Nature's original version. Plus, by taking Rozerem instead of melatonin, not only are you exposing yourself to potential risks, but you're also missing out on the other health benefits of melatonin, including proven cancer risk reduction.
Even if the potential side effects don't concern you, on a broader scale, Rozerem just helps perpetuate the system that allows twisted, misshapen versions of natural molecules to be widely advertised as effective and at the same time threatens jail time for those who tell the truth about the superior effectiveness of the original, natural versions. So, as you can see, it's a whole lot less risky — in more ways than one — just to take the natural molecule itself.
If you have trouble sleeping, it's perfectly safe to take 1 to 3 milligrams of melatonin to help the process along naturally. Melatonin is available on prescription only in the UK, so talk to your doctor if you are interested in trying it.
