How well do you know about the meat you consume everyday?
Consider that antibiotics are routinely used in animals, not to treat infections but to promote growth so the ultimate product would yield more profits. As much as 300 mg of antibiotics is used in production of every kilogram of meat and eggs. Wow!
This use of subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics not only has the potential to alter the meat itself but also what comes along with, i.e. antibiotic resistant bacteria. By the way, small amounts of antibiotics can still be detected in the meat that is ready for you to buy and then eat!

No wonder, there has been an exponential rise of antibiotic resistant organisms that have potential to cause disease. Beware, those who have suboptimal immune status and frequent infections!
To be fair, rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria is much more due to use of antibiotics by humans rather than the use in farm animals.
Studies suggest a bidirectional exchange of bacteria between animals and humans. An injudicious use of antibiotics in animals or humans is not just a public health problem but strikes home at people at greater risk.
Wait, there's more!
A Consumer Report study found presence of the drug ractopamine that is again used to promote growth in animals. Although banned in many countries, it is permissible in the U.S.

Potential consequences of drug/antibiotic use in meat animals
- Increased prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
- Altered meat.
- Altered intestinal milieu with disrupted micro-ecology in the person consuming meat.
- Altered intestinal bacteria in person consuming host to a potential pathogenic pattern.
Benefits of meat raised without drug/antibiotic use
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
No studies have examined a direct benefit, hence we have to go by circumstantial evidence, connect the dots and try to do what may be safer for at least the select populations
- Infants and children in early life during the formative years
- Kids/adults with psychological issues since some of the drugs like ractopamine may have effect on the brain.
- Patients with chronic disorders associated with dysbiosis and leaky gut and chronic low grade inflammattion
