Milk: America’s Health Problem
jump to links
Why is American Milk Banned in Europe?
American dairy milk is genetically-modified unless it’s labeled “NO rBGH”
Genetically-engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in milk increases cancer risks.
American dairy farmers inject rBGH to dairy cows to increase milk production.
European nations and Canada have banned rBGH to protect citizens from IGF-1 hazards.
Monsanto Co., the manufacturer of rBGH, has influenced U. S. product safety laws permitting the sale of unlabeled rBGH milk. (Monsanto would lose billions of dollars if rBGH were banned in America.)
Q. Is there any milk not contaminated with rBGH and IGF-1?
A. Yes. Milk that is clearly labeled “NO rBGH” is free of rBGH and does not contain excess levels of IGF-1.
Q. What about cheeses?
A. American-made cheeses are contaminated with rBGH and excess levels of IGF-1 unless they’re labeled “NO rBGH”. Imported European cheeses are safe since Europe has banned rBGH.

Protest the use of rBGH? Or, that this site is impuning American dairy products? Your question isn't clear. Frankly, this issue has been around for years.
Personally, as long as you have a choice, the availability of non-rBGH milk, I don't beleive there isn't an issue.

I can't see that yahoo would put it on their site if it wasn't true? It's on a site trying to prevent cancer isn't it, so why would they say it if they didn't think it would help people?
