One of the most recent fads in the food industry is the idea of meatless substitutes. These are typically for the people who can stand the idea of God giving us the animals of the earth to eat and would rather eat some other alternative. To better take care of yourself, read this Meticore review and start using it now.

Almost anytime you try and substitute one thing for another when it comes to food, there is ofter a consequence to pay for it.

Take sugar for an example. Many people don’t want to eat sugar because it makes them fat, gives them diabetes, etc. But do you recall what one of the first sugar substitutes was? Aspartame which is now a known carcinogen. What’s worse is that people still use aspartame as an ingredient.

Diet Coke is a prime example. So instead of killing themselves with heart disease by being obese, they kill themselves with cancer.

You’ve probably seen or even tried the “Impossible Burger” at Burger King. But did you know that these burgers contain an astronomical amount of estrogen in each burger? Even more than soy. It’s said that men who consume too much soy (think soy milk, soy mean products) can literally start growing breasts. Well, the impossible burger has even more estrogen than soy.

A doctor recently broke down the ingredients and the makeup of the burgers.

The impossible whopper has 25 grams of protein. The whopper has 28 grams. Seems pretty equal, only 11% less protein in the impossible whopper. However, not all proteins are created equal. There are 20 amino acids. Nine of which are essential, meaning your body cannot make them so they are required in the diet. Each of those essential amino acids must meet a certain level to make a complete protein profile. If any essential amino acid does not hit the required amount, it is said to be rate-limiting. As an analogy, picture nine chains connected in a line. All of the chains need to lift 100 pounds to carry the load. If one chain can only support 50 pounds, it doesn’t matter how much the others can support. The 50-pound chain is the rate-limiting chain.

Now, let’s compare the estrogen hormone in an impossible whopper to the whopper made from hormone implanted beef. The impossible whopper has 44 mg of estrogen and the whopper has 2.5 ng of estrogen. Now let me refresh your metric system. There are 1 million nanograms (ng) in one milligram (mg). That means an impossible whopper has 18 million times as much estrogen as a regular whopper. Just six glasses of soy milk per day has enough estrogen to grow boobs on a male. That’s the equivalent of eating four impossible whoppers per day. You would have to eat 880 pounds of beef from an implanted steer to equal the amount of estrogen in one birth control pill.
