Question 1

accidentally ate some moldy beef jerky serious?

Accepted Answer

Only if you get sick: If you develop symptoms of GI distress or other changes go and see a doctor and be tested.

Question 2

my 8 year old  ate the lol white package in the beef jerky bag.  will it hurt him.?

Accepted Answer

Most likely no...: The little white package contains silica gel, a substance used to prevent moisture. If swallowed, it should pass without problem. Drinking plenty of water can help with stomach irritation. If distress, in any form, continues after ingesting the silica gel, contact a poison control center or local medical care.

Question 3

can you have beef jerky in first 12 weeks of pregnancy?

Question 4

how bad is beef for health?

Accepted Answer

Not bad if lean: Lean beef is not bad for one's health, as long as it is consumed in moderation.  Your leaner cuts of beef include the filet mignon and new york steaks.  The fattier and less healthy cuts include your prime rib and rib eye cuts.  Stick with the healthier, leaner cuts and enjoy in moderation.

Question 5

are beef sweetbreads healthy?

Accepted Answer

No: Sweetbread is the pancreas. First, any beef product is unhealthy. There is no reason to ever eat that. There are many other dining options out there. Second, you increase your fat intake (particularly the pancreas compared to muscle meat), cholesterol, and inflammation, especially if it's not organic, free-roaming, vegetarian-fed (what cows naturally eat).

Question 6

why dose beef make me feel sick?

Accepted Answer

Reaction: There are a few reasons why beef might be affecting you.  It could be an allergy to the beef or a even a sensitivity.  Sometime people react to beef because of what the cow was given (like the grains it was fed or the hormones and antibiotics it was given).   If it is an allergy or sensitivity, there are some tests that your doctor can do to get more information.

Question 7

what is effect of eating rare beef?

Accepted Answer

Not much: Rare beef occurs when the cooking does not denature the red myoglobin in the beef.  In this country beef is inspected and certified so disease is unlikely from poorly cooked beef.  It does contain a goody amount of nutritional protein, and a few vitamins like vitamin b-12 less common in vegetable sources.  Rarely beef can be contaminated during processing and outbreaks of illness have occurred.

Question 8

is grassfed beef really better for you?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Just as "you are what you eat" cows are what they eat.Their natural diet is grass. Corn is an unnatural food for them & these days most cows are fed toxic pesticide-laden gmo corn.Corn-fed beef has many unhealthy fats & pesticide residues. Grassfed beef is lower in fat & has a much higher amount of healthy fats like omega 3 fats & cla.I consider grassfed beef to be healthy &regular beef unhealthy!

Question 9

how often should i be eating beef a week?

Accepted Answer

No consensus but...: There is absolutely no consensus on this. One thing i can say is there is no need to eat any at all. Vegetarians & vegans would say none & a large body of evidence points to reduced risk of heart disease & cancer & longer life in those who are vegetarian. If you do eat beef i advise only grass-fed meat. Beef fed gmo-corn & given hormones/antibiotics is very unhealthy to eat! see my comment:.
