Worrying about hormones and antibiotics in meat and dairy while being concerned about health makes as much sense as worrying about the effects of filters in cigarettes while looking to avoid lung cancer. Animal products are unhealthy, and inhumane.

Animal antibiotics and hormones are not applied to plants. Plants are not susceptible to diseases that can be transferred to humans. The pesticides that are sprayed on plants are entirely different chemicals. Plants have the least problems with heavy metal and toxin bioaccumulation because they are at the bottom of the food chain. The risks for contamination of animal and animal product foods are orders of magnitude greater than for plant based food. But all that ignores the fact that meat and dairy are inherently unhealthy for humans - they are carcinogenic and cause heart disease.
