The Associated Press has reported that the FDA finally provided evidence that the chickens that received the drug were actually positive for inorganic arsenic on tests.
Even though this has been ignored for some time, the FDA has finally decided to announce that the chicken meat we all buy from the stores in the U.S. contains arsenic, which is an extremely toxic chemical which leads to various health issues, cancer, and even death.
Yet, the most disturbing fact is that the arsenic is actually intentionally put in chicken.
Namely, in 2006, the IATP’s report Playing Chicken: Avoiding Arsenic inside the meat you eat, showed that even 70 percent of the chickens in the U.S are fed with arsenic in order to boost the weight gain and to get the normal healthy color in the case of hogs, chickens, and turkeys.
The FDA found that half of all chickens have absorbed this toxin inside the liver.
The agency even urged Pfizer to stop the process of production and creation of Roxarsone, the arsenic-containing drug used in this practice in order to fatten the chickens and make their meat bright pink.
