rBGH, or recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone is a synthetic form of growth hormone injected into cows to increase growth rates and milk production. Manufactured by Monsanto, rBGH was introduced to the market in 1993 under the product name Posilac. rBGH is also referred to as rBST (recombinant Bovine Somatotropin).

Is water better for you then milk?
Essentially yes, but milk contains essential nutrients as well such as calcium but we got a lot of our daily nutrients from other foods besides milk. Milk also has a high fat and sugar content depending upon which percentage you buy. It can also contains RBGH, which is why I would recommend buying RBGH free milk such as Braums or organic milk to make sure your milk is not contaminated.

There is no "medicine" that is used for dairy cows to increase milk production. Only a particular growth hormone called rBGH or recominant Bovine Growth Hormone.
Is yoplait organic?
No. In 2009, they announced that they will no longer use milk treated with the rbGH growth hormone in their yogurt, but since they are not labeled organic, they can still feed their cows grain that has been genetically modified and/or sprayed with pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Is it true that broiler chicken is given injection for its growth?

What are drugs in genetically modified food?
Except for the rBGH hormone used in animals raised for food, genetically engineered food does not actually contain drugs. Genetically modified foods involve extracting a gene from one species (often a bacteria) and inserting it into another species (often corn or soybeans) in order to bring about a desired trait. This process is also used to develop new drugs
What is Organic milk?
Milk which has been prepared organically- no growth hormones (such as the recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, rBGH) or antibiotics are used, and cattle graze on grass which hasn't been sprayed with pesticides.Organic Milkis milk that contains carbon. Look up the definition of "organic" in the dictionary. "Organic" means "containing carbon". All milk contains carbon. And therefore all milk is organic.Organic milk is TASTY milk!!
Is cow milk better than buffalo milk?
Yes. It is genetically better. It contains Omega3 and a2. I've heard the opposite is true, especially coming from animals (referring to buffalo) that aren't fed sub-therapeutic antibiotics or implanted with rBGH, nor have become genetically modified to the point they're milk-machine freaks in the form of a cow. Figuratively speaking of course.
