E-mail about Wal-Mart milk, anyone here of this?

Question

This is on snoops.com, link is below......please read and let me know if you have heard of anyone with this. I want to know if it is true, cause my daughter buys walmart milk.

Mitzi Lyons, lives in Gainesville, TX.
Her 11 yr old daughter, Marissa, for THREE years has incurred menstrual problems
(bleeding several more days than a regular menstrual cycle each month)
and within the last year she started producing milk.
Her doctors have performed every test, many surgeries, put her on birth control and the last straw was a hysterectomy in January.

Mitzi's dad started research on the internet of his granddaughter's problem and found out about rBST in milk (injecting cows with steroidal hormones so they will produce more milk).
Doctor's were skeptical if this could be "why" this little girl was experiencing these problems as it was approved by the FDA. Wal-Mart Great Value milk has the rBST in it.

Her doctor's in Houston are going to write a medical journal discovery on her, because FDA says that rBST is safe for humans.
Her doctor's have also discovered that there a handful more girls around her age out there, in other states, that are experiencing the same issues and have reason to believe it is also from the rBST injections in some cows.

I didn't say anything about pulling it, I was just bringing out to make people aware of it and to find if it was true.

The main reason is to make people aware is so they can discontinue using it until the FDA has decided it is not good for a majority due to illness popping up.

PMSing?

Answer 1

Well they are researching, so hopefully they'll have a conclusion soon.

Answer 2

Walmart doesn't produce milk. Different brands produce it and carries the walmart label. 3/4 of the milk sold on the market contains rBST in it and the FDA approved it because it is safe for most people. People react differently to chemicals so you can't pull something off the market because a handful of people have a reaction to it. If you are worried about it switch to soy or organic milk.

Answer 3

I don't know, but I think more then just wal-mart milk has it, because now it is advertiesed on Dairy Glen Milk - Made from cows not treated with rBST - So I think you should check all your milk for them saying they don't have it!

Answer 4

I tried to make a copy (3 times) of of the email site you gave and it wouldn't even copy.
Thanks for the information about the milk. I have been using great value/Walmart milk for years. I wanted to show it to my doctor next week when I go.

Answer 5

There are lots of chemicals which are declared "safe" because the companies that use them have a financial interest to keep using them.

This includes a rapidly growing list of drugs that have caused horrible birth defects but were called "safe" for years.

Answer 6

Doesn't Wal-mart use Oakhurst (brand) milk?

Answer 7

crazy!!
