Speaking of Monsanto – just look at rGBH – the bovine growth hormone given to cows to increase milk production.
It’s been banned in Europe and Canada. From my reading, Monsanto was involved in limiting the scope of the FDA safety trials to ONLY look to see if the milk had elevated levels of growth hormone. (It doesn’t) They didn’t look to see of cows given rGBH had other endocrine changes. Turns out they have much higher levels of adreniline, etc…
Monsanto had marketed this to dairy farmers for over 10 years before people learned of it. And their answer, when people heard about it and protested – Hey, it’s been going on for more than 10 years, so what’s the big deal.
I figure my kids don’t need to get excess hormones from their milk. So I buy my milk at Henries. (drug free cows.)
