Why children nowadays getting sicker?Unlike children 10,20,30 yrs ago? Why are some 8 yrs old girls having the year monthly period early as compared to your moms? and babies are taking more and more anit-biotics?
Hey everyone possible answer is: RBGH - genetically engineered Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone. MOther or everyone should be aware of this, Mostly in infant milk formula.Introduced in 1994-allows cows to produce 15-25% more milk in the process damaging health in reproducing capacity. Cows injected with RBGH die in 2 yrs normal cows? 15-20 years RBGH milk contains high amount of cancer tumor promoter 1GF-1 aside from more pus, bacteria and antiobiotic, it is USFDA approved and not labeled in the can. Is it this scary? so next time you buy a milk, see the label if it is RBGH free . Godbless you all!

Thanks for the enlightenment and the awareness. To be honest with you, I have never thought of that before, but now I know. Thanks and have a nice day.

This would be a good arguement for Organic products. I deal with a dairy store, I am guessing that their milk is free of this hormone, as it is a small operation with high quality standards. I think I shall go online to their website, and ask this question. Thanks for the info. When my kids were young, they drank lots of milk, but we got it raw, at a local dairy. I always have felt like that was why they were so healthy, the dairy man kept things pure and clean. No additives.

I drink only organic milk, and I will do the same for my kids, when I have some. I do not want daughters starting puberty at 8, my goodness... kids grow up so fast anyhow, we don't need their bodies to! I eat only organic, natural food. No pesticides, no hormones, no genetic alterations. I don't want that crap in my blood stream!

I have been replacing milk with unweetened soya milk because I know it is nearly impossible to know if there are growth hormone in milk. They said milk are meant for small cows not for human babies and I tend to agree. Also I learnt most westerners tend to have brown spots on their face if they are heavy milk drinkers. Is that true?

Isn't it scary? They think they are helping us and helping the dairy industry. These hormones make more milk for the country, and more milk is good for everyone right? Nope, not always! It's terrible to know that we're doing things now and we won't see the repercussions of it for 10 or 15 years and then it'll be too late. There are so many things we're finding out now.
I haven't looked specifically for this in milk, but I don't recall it being a prominent thing on the label. I will have to check. Does anyone know if Dried Milk contains this as well? I guess it depends on the source of the milk before drying, right?
