Question 3 of 4

3. Question

In Canada, growth hormones are approved for use ONLY with beef cattle. Which of the following is false

Beef cattle that are given hormones grow more quickly and make more efficient use of their feed.

Only a very small amount of growth hormone is required for a beef animal to grow muscle rather than fat.

Hormone use in beef cattle can be environmentally unsafe, as well as unsafe for people who eat beef with added hormones.

Because hormones help make it less costly for farmers to raise cattle, it also reduces the costs that consumers pay for beef.
