Growth Hormones in Milk

This is a terrible farming practice for so many reasons. Cows get shot up everyday and make lots more milk. They have lots more health problems too. What is the effect on human health from drinking hormonally altered milk? The answer is scary, no one knows. Well, they may have a clue, but the research has been suppressed by Monsanto (the manufacturer of the hormone), so it can’t be good.  What effects does hormonally altered milk have on childhood development? No one knows. But corporate milk in schools might as well be one of the ten commandments.  There is no law that says companies have to tell us there are hormones in our dairy products. In fact, Monsanto is pressuring the FDA to outlaw “Hormone Free” labeling. Unless that stuff in your fridge is from a cow you know, certified organic or labeled “Hormone Free” you are pretty much guaranteed to be getting growth hormones from your milk, cream, yogurt, ice cream, cheese, whipped cream, sour cream etc.

These products are cheap, but at what cost?

Below are links to two parts of an informative 20 minute documentary on this scary subject.
