DES in livestock feed sparks health concerns and bans
The text reports on DES, a growth hormone in cattle feed, with claims of health risks including cancer. It notes a ban effective January 1, 1973, but mentions DES may be used as a transplant in cattle ears. It cites lawmakers proposing to outlaw DES and references studies, opposition from pharmaceutical and farming interests, and calls for consumer vigilance. The piece also includes book recommendations and local society notes.
