Because American meat is implanted with synthetic hormones prior to slaughter, in feedlots.
The ban was placed on Hormone raised meat because of questions about the dangers with meat treated with sex hormones.
Estrogenic hormones can cause certain forms of hormonal cancers. As no dietary amounts of hormones are safe, it is unsafe to eat hormone treated meats.
Even the pill, which has a controlled and known amount of estrogen, is linked to Breast cancer in women.
So Europe banned American meat under pressure from European consumers.
I recommend for Americans to eat organic meats as even to this day a lot of feedlots inject their cattle with hormones such as Estradiol and Progestins. Progestins is the synthetic form or the naturally occuring hormone Progesterone.
