The hormones that are added to the already hormonal female cows make it even worse when interacting with human hormones.. so ESPECIALLY when someone who has food sensitivities, it makes it worse. So I’m ALWAYS on the lookout for something that I can eat that’s NORMAL food and not insanely priced.

Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) or recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) frees to bovine growth hormone that is made in a lab using genetic technology. (Refer to www.cancer.org)
The FDA says that food products made from rBST treated cows are safe for human consumption, there’s no significant difference between the milk between the two.
But what about how it effects the cows
And the people that it does make a difference for?
The effect it has on the cows is that it stimulates milk production by increasing a natural hormone like an insulin. (Www.organicvalley.coop)
Since it was FDA approved in 1993, an estimated 20% of dairy cows in the USA are injected with this hormone. (Www.non-gmoreport.com May07)
The available evidence shows that the use of rBGH can cause adverse health effects in cows. The evidence for potential harm to humans is inconclusive. (Www.cancer.org)
Unless your milk is organic or says “does not contain rBGH,” you’re drinking milk that’s banned in the European Union, Canada and other countries due to its potential effects on human health, including the increased risk of cancer, says the American Cancer Society. (Www.eathis.com 11 American food products banned in other countries)
Costco, Kroger, Safeway and Walmart all carry milk that’s rBST free. (Www.verywellfamily.com)
Hormone levels are higher in whole milk and less in skim milk. All milk (from all mammals) naturally contains certain levels of estrogen and progesterone. (Www.scientificamerican.com)
