HL Deb 11 May 1999 vol 600 c142WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the hormones in hormone-treated beef, which are used to enhance growth, may contribute to human obesity. [HL2289]

Lord Donoughue

I am not aware of any research linking hormone-treated beef, which has been banned in the European Community since 1988, with human obesity.
