Are Canadians being poison- Are we liable té cancer caused by chie- _micals artificially imrlanted_in animal feeds? Can a woman to- lerate. drugs which cause alor- tion in cows? If a Canadian eats too much liver and tripe, will he | become effeminized?

These grave and startling questions came up before the Agriculture Committee of the

« House of Commions, and remain-

ed unanswered. “They deserve more thorough study. And un- til Canadians are reassured by competent medical research, we must wonder whether the com- mercial ‘interests of food produc- ers are being permitted to take precedence over our _ Rational | health. .

research should be done’ in res- pect of what effect stilbestrol-", | fed poultry and cattle have on | human health?” zo Dr. Barry replied that this is
