Don't eat chicken wings - Ladies especially!
This is a true story! I am very concerned about the health of
the people out there especially the women!
A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she
underwent an operation to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was
filled with a dark coloured blood.
She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery but
she was terribly wrong. A relapse occurred just a few months later.
Distressed, she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation.
During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that
puzzled her. He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings
and she replied yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating
habits.
You see, the truth is in this modern day and age, chickens are
injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs
of this society can be met. This need is none other then the need
for food. Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually
given the shot at the neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in this
places that the highest concentration of steroids exist.
These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it
accelerates growth. It has an even more dangerous effect in the
presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone
to the growth of a cyst in the womb.
Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets
and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings! People who
receive this email, please forward it to your friends and loved
ones. I am sure no one wants to see him or her suffer!
I have NEVER seen a more idiotic person than this angel7030.
The above is a LONG-RUNNING urban legend since 2004. To think
that this stupid person, who prides itself as a pub owner, law
expert, political expert, will put up some fake email such as the
above.
A really sad example of a
human being.

Comments: False. The use of growth-enhancing hormones
(including steroids) in poultry has been illegal in the U.S.,
Canada, and Europe for decades. Though the practice apparently still
exists in other parts of the world, this type of substance would be
administered to poultry via feed additives, not
injections. Therefore, even if a detectable
hormonal residue persisted in the flesh of chickens raised this
way, it would not likely be concentrated in particular body parts
such as the neck or wings.
In the
United States, certain "steroid hormonal growth-promoting drugs"
are approved for use in beef cattle, a practice deemed safe by the
FDA and USDA, though not without controversy. "Studies done so far
do not provide evidence to state that hormone residues in meat or
dairy products cause any human health effects," states a Cornell
University
fact sheet. "However, a conclusion on lack of human health
effect can only be made after large-scale studies compare the
health of people who eat meat or dairy products from
hormone-treated animals, to people who eat a similar diet, but from
untreated animals."
A
WHO-sponsored
study conducted in Egypt determined that poultry raised by
farmers using growth-enhancing hormones contained an elevated level
of estradiol (estrogen), noting that a number of scientific studies
have shown a correlation between the prolonged use of oral
contraceptive steroids with the appearance of a particular form of
cancer in women. The study concluded that "anabolic agents in beef
and chicken entail a special risk to public health."
