Can Our Food Be Dangerous? Let’s talk about food safety in milk.
Why buy organic milk? Most milk that is not organic contains bovine growth hormone (rBGH). What? rBGH is a genetically derived hormone that works as a hormone disruptor in humans. Additionally, as Samuel Epstein, MD, explains “BGH makes cows sick (mastitis)… is chemically, and nutritionally different than natural milk… is supercharged with high levels of a natural growth factor (IGF-1), which is readily absorbed through the gut (IGI-1 blocks natural defense mechanisms against early cancers).
Why do dairy farmers use rBGH? It increases milk production by 10%. However, we currently have a milk surplus, so is this really necessary?
