Using very sensitive test, they found a number of chemicals used to treat the disease in animals and humans, using the sample on a cow, goat and breast milk.
The dosage of these drugs in the material is indeed small for anesthetic chemical in people who drink it. However, these results show how man-made chemicals now found throughout the food chain. In fact, the highest number of uses of the chemicals found in cow's milk.
Researchers believe some medicine and livestock growth promoters given to in order to get the milk through livestock feed which has been contaminated. Spain and Morocco research team analyzed 20 samples of cow's milk are purchased in Spain and Morocco, along with samples of goat's milk and breast milk.
The damage they publish in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry stating that cow's milk contains the rest of the anti-inflammatory drug niflumic acid, mefenamat acid and ketoprofen. Usually used as painkillers in animals and humans.
Not only that, in the milk also contains the hormone 17 beta estradiol, a form of sex hormone estrogen. A hormone detected on three millionth grams in every kilogram of milk, whereas the highest dose niflumic acid is less than a millionth grams per kilogram of milk. However, the scientists, led by Dr. Evaristo Ballesteros, from the University of Jaen in Spain, saying, "their technique could be used to check for other types of food safety."
"We believe this new methodology will help provide a more effective way in order to determine the presence of other types of pollution in milk or other products," added Ballesteros.
"Food quality control Laboratory was able to use this new tool to detect the drugs before they enter the food chain. This will raise the awareness of consumers and provide them with the knowledge that food is not dangerous, pristine, original, beneficial to your health and free of toxic residues, "He said.
