MF - mainly the point is to have MILK from dairy cows which are NOT injected with the below hormone...ee milk bottle label is confusing and tricky..so organic is better of all.. ------ Bovine growth hormone, or bovine somatotropin (also called bGH, rbGH, bST, or bST), is given to cows to make them mature faster and produce more milk. The hormone is produced by cows' pituitary gland and an extra amino acid is attached before it's injected into dairy cows. The hormone was first used in 1993. In 2002 about 22 percent of dairy cows in the United States were injected with bGH. And by mid-2004 less than 11 percent of U.S. cows were being injected. Opposition groups are pushing for bGH to eventually be pulled off the market altogether. Unless the milk you buy is organic, or labeled "bGH-free," it may contain the hormone. |
