    Unfortunately even the organic products are now contaminated with Fukushima radiation. There's not much left on this planet that isn't contaminated.

      I agree. Kind of hard to know what we are consuming these days.

    there is no pus in your milk. any cows that have the mastitis as an infection are milked separately and the milk from them is dumped out. The levels of IGF-1 in milk from cows being supplemented with the protein hormone rBST is within normal range and does not increase any risks of getting any kind of cancer. no matter what kind of milk you drink it will not cause any harm to you. Plus, rBST stands for recombinant bovine somatotropin, which means it is specific to the species bovine(cows). Humans have somatotropin also only it is called human somatotropin or hST. It is made the same way insulin is made.
    Sincerely,
    An American Dairy Farmer!
    P.S. Have some respect for the people and place your food comes from!

    Oh i forgot to mention any milk containing any antibiotics or medication is dumped out! All milk is tested for any of these things before it is put on the market!

    growth hormones in cows caused baby breasts to grow in the 70’s as it got into the food chain, so they changed the formula, in the 80’s it then caused algae blooms in rivers and streams, so it was changed again, how about now it causes obesity, an invisible side effect…

    just dont eat/drink anything from the dairy industry, the whole science of it is corrupt and the farmers too blinded to see the issues.

  5. I thought I’d jump in here, just to get the word out that rBST DOES affect humans, and I can speak from personal experience. If you have a weak stomach, you may not want to read on. For many years, I experienced sudden severe doubled-over type abdominal pain and subsequent immediate evacuation. I thought it seemed related to intake of fats, so I cut out anything fried, creamy, and otherwise rich foods. It still happened and several physicians assumed I had irritable bowel syndrome (their label for “we have no idea what is causing this & don’t have the time to figure it out”). Since I live in this body, I started to see a common trend that my symptoms were always related to intake of a food produced by cattle, but did not occur every time I consumed a milk product or beef. To set the record straight, my dad grew up on a large dairy farm in upstate N.Y., and I grew up on a ranch, raised beef & dairy cattle as 4-H projects, and am personally biased in favor of cows. I didn’t make the direct connection until traveling to Scotland, having real butter every morning and no side effects, not once! I then learned that Scotland does not use dairy products that contain rBST or any other growth hormone. So. . . when I returned home, I started reading labels and only purchased those dairy products not containing any growth hormone. You guessed it – no symptoms since, and that was 10 years ago. I feel that I have my life back after suffering over 25 years. Please get the word out, as I’m sure I can’t be the only one. Other’s need to know, because if growth hormones can cause these side effects, who knows what else they are doing to us.

  6. Save tax dollars — where is the FDA — they are supposed to protect consumers?
