Taco Bell President Greg Creed said Tuesday in a statement that Taco Bell plans to take legal action against people making the allegations that the Taco Bell meat mixture contains binders and fillers. The lawsuit claims Taco Bell falls short of the USDA’s requirement that its filling be at least 40 percent fresh meat.
Creed said that Taco Bell buys the same brands of beef sold in supermarkets. He said the beef is simmered in a blend of seasonings.
What are the implications to cancer here? If the majority of fast food restaurants follow suit with Taco Bell, the amount of soy isoflavones in our food supply would be dramatically higher than we think. Soy isoflavones are contraindicated for women with a history of breast, uterine, ovarian and other estrogen-receptor positive cancers because the concentrated isoflavones may spur on the growth of these kinds of cancer cells.
What do to now? Limit your consumption of beef products....at even the "allowed" 40% beef in beef, you have to ask, "what makes up the other 60% of what I am eating?"
