Issues on milk from rGBH – treated American cows

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

A document from Factoryfarm.Org says that about 30% of cows in the U.S. are injected with ÒBovine Growth Hormone (BGH; also known as recombinant bovine growth hormone, rGBH, recombinant bovine somatotrophin or rBST or BGH)Ó.

rBGH treated-milk are banned in Canada and Europe. Why? For animal and human health reasons.

Personally, my family prefers UPLB-DTRI milk products and powdered milk from New Zealand.
