How is milk treated with Rbst dangerous?
rBST is an artificial hormone that can be used to treat dairy cows to increase milk production. Injection with rBST also increases production of another hormone (IGF-1) that is present in both cows and humans. Too much of IGF-1 has been linked to increased risk of cancer. Injection with rBST increases the chances that the animal will get mastitis (infection of the udder) that will have to be treated with antibiotics. This whole process is not healthy for the cow and could also increase antibiotic resistance in the microorganisms in both cows and humans.
Which milk brands have bovine growth hormones in them?
Many conventional milk brands may use cows treated with bovine growth hormone (rBST or rBGH), which is a synthetic hormone used to increase milk production. Brands like Dairy Farmers of America and some store-brand milks may include milk from cows treated with rBST. However, many companies, including organic and some mainstream brands like Horizon Organic and Organic Valley, explicitly state that their milk comes from cows not treated with growth hormones. Always check the label for specific information regarding hormone use.
What is the hormone that promotes growth and milk production in dairy cows?
The hormone that is injected into dairy cows for increased growth and milk production is called recombinant Bovine Somatotrophin Hormone or rBST, purchased as Posilac by American dairy farmers.
Where can you buy milk WITH growth hormone rbst please be specific?
Commercial grocery store chains usually have milk with growth hormone. If it is not labeled specifying no growth hormone, it probably has it. In the U.S. it is not required to be included on the label even if it is used as many consumers would avoid it if they knew...

Who makes rBGH?
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 there a difference between milk treated with growth hormones and milk not treated with growth hormones?
Marketing campaigns by dairies who do not use growth hormones do not contend that the milk has any difference in taste, texture, or nutrition. In many cases, the claimed effects of the chemicals in dairy cows are debated, and in most cases unsubstantiated or even hyperbole.The chemicals can be found in all foods that contain dairy in the United States and other countries.Which include anything labeled Milk or Soy.Effects include:Increased agingBrittle bones/Bone Marrow diseaseVomitingDizzinessSleepinessLong & Short Term Memory lossWrinklesPremature artificial Grey hair (if it is difficult to pull out, it is contaminated)Weight GainPopping of BonesBreaking of bonesDisintegration of bonesPremature Puberty (Any creature over the age of 5, This means humans can become pregnant at age 4 and up.)Blindness ( in only 78% of all cases of HGH through rBGH Poisoning)Hearing LossDeath (in all cases 100% died before the age of 34)(Note: Including the cows injected with rBST instantaneously)Premature Birth in children & Teens.High Blood PressureDeafness (through or liquid in the Ear)Mucus (High levels enough that cows suffer suffocation)Poor calcium absorption (calcium will NOT absorb into the system)FatigueLoss of StrengthRandom White or Transparent "GLUE HAIR" : (this is a RANDOM white hair that will grow on the body from anywhere it settles in the human body. This hair cannot be removed under normal methods. It sticks to the insides of the human skin like a glue.) Example:Pulling out a normal hair slides out easily but pulling out this hair is near impossible.This hair has no a follicle and cannot easily come out. It will break instead as if a solid object in your body. Prolonged exposure will continue to damage the body.Common milk does not have these effects. Only cows treated with rBST have these side effects brought to you by the FDA & Monsanto Organization.
What is bGH?
bGH, or bovine growth hormone, is a protein hormone produced by the pituitary gland of cattle that regulates growth and milk production. It is often used in agriculture to increase milk yield in dairy cows by enhancing growth and metabolic processes. Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST) is a synthetic version used in some countries to promote milk production, though its use has been controversial due to concerns about animal welfare and potential health effects in humans.
Will a girl start breast growth earlier when she eats lots of meat?
If the meat she is eating is beef and contains Bovine Growth Hormone, there is a good chance she will show signs of sexual maturity from a very young age. The hormone is what may be causing it, although in many countries it is outlawed in the meat industry. Do a search on bovine growth hormone and rbst to find out more. Some plastics also secrete synthetic oestrogen into food and liquids, which can cause speeded up puberty.
How do cows grow udders?
A cow would already have an udder since she is a mature female bovine, so it's impossible for a cow to grow an udder.That said, however, a bovine must be female in order to be able to grow or develop an udder. No males, be they bulls or steers, can grow udders. For that female bovine to develop an udder, she must become pregnant at a suitable age (~15 to 18 months old) so that she can begin milk production when she is in her last trimester of pregnancy. Heifers (so are young female bovines called) will begin to develop an udder usually in their second trimester of pregnancy, and this development is primarily of mammary tissue, not yet lactation fluid (milk). Milk production doesn't actually begin until she's close to calving.The size of udder a cow will develop actually depends on the breed and the genetics for milk production. Misconceptions about milk production would make you believe that hormones given to cows force them to grow larger udders and more milk. This is truly not the case, although rBST injected to American dairy cattle does encourage greater milk production. A dairy cow has a larger udder than a beef cow simply because she has been bred and selected for greater milk production than that beef cow.
Is it true that broiler chicken is given injection for its growth?
It is not common practice to inject broiler chickens for growth. Instead, they are typically given feed that is specially formulated to promote growth quickly. However, antibiotics and growth hormones may be used in some cases, depending on regulations and farm practices.
Is milk good for you?
That really depends in your personal opinion. There are people who claim that milk is not good for you because they believe that milk is a contributor for many diseases including osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, obesity etc. These claims mainly come from the fact that milk has a high amount of saturated fat in it and also comes from cows that have been fed high amounts of antibiotics and rGBH, which is a type of growth hormone that encourages dairy cows to produce more milk than what they are naturally capable of.And then there's other people on the other side of the coin that say yes it is good for you, because milk is high in calcium, protein, zinc, vitamin B12, and other essential nutrients. They claim that it makes your bones and teeth strong and healthy, and it is also a part of the healthy food groups of a well-balanced diet.The nay-sayers, who are quick to point out the number of diseases caused by milk don't see that there are a lot of other things that cause diseases that are supposedly caused by milk products. Eating too much fat naturally makes people fat and makes them more prone to disease. This is the case if too many dairy products, like cheese and ice cream are eaten every day, much more than the recommended daily serving amount. It's also the case of milk with high butter fat, like homo milk instead of 1% or skim milk (most prefer 1% or 2% over skim milk anyway): drink too much and you will indeed gain weight and be more susceptible to all the diseases that anti-milk drinkers like to list for you.The other concern is the treatment of the cows themselves. Conventional milk produced in America is, indeed, high in antibiotics and growth hormones which also can cause illness and disease, and is certainly not something that anyone should be drinking. (This is different in Canada and most of Europe, as using growth hormones and sub-acute doses of antibiotics to dairy cows is banned in these countries). Dairy cows in America are literally genetically modified organisms (GMO's) that are designed to be milk machines, not actual living, breathing cows. When they cannot produce milk anymore they get pretty weak on their feet, most likely from osteoporosis themselves (just like with conventional layer hens who do nothing but produce eggs all their lives), and have to be forced, carried and harried onto the slaughter trucks even when they can't get on their feet anymore.And then there's the ethical question of why humans "exploit" cows for their milk when the milk should be given to the calves instead. That in itself is an issue that should be addressed to another question, and not this one. However, it should be mentioned, as the question about using human breast milk as a source of dairy product is brought up among those anti-cow-milk users, and something that is considered unappealing to most people. But that's another question to be answered.So is milk good for you? The question that really needs to be asked instead is do we humans need to be drinking milk? Milk is a healthy food to consume if consumed in moderation (not too much of it), and is certainly a lot healthier than junk food like fries or potato chips, or even a MacDonald's hamburger. But if we look at animals in the natural world, they are not exploiting other species for their milk. Adult animal species are weaned from drinking milk and instead rely on other food sources to get their calcium, protein, zinc, B-vitamins and other nutrients from. So why don't humans do the same? The answer to this question may be that it's only a matter that we choose not to go that route. If people don't want to drink milk, that's their choice. And if others want to continue drinking milk, that's their choice as well. The most important thing is that we need to achieve balance, instead of arguing about different view points that are obtained from either extremes, from the choice of "all or nothing." There's nothing wrong with being in the middle of the road!Processed milk began containing differing amounts of fat during the 1950s. 1 cup (250 ml) of 2%-fat milk contains 285 mg of calcium, which represents 22% to 29% of the daily recommended intake (DRI) of calcium for an adult. Depending on the age, milk contains 8 grams of protein, and a number of other nutrients (either naturally or through fortification) including:Biotinpantothenic acidIodinePotassiumPotassiumSeleniumThiamineVitamin AVitamin B12RiboflavinVitamin DVitamin KThe amount of calcium from milk that is absorbed by the human body is disputed. Calcium from dairy products has a greater bioavailability than calcium from certain vegetables, such as spinach, that contain high levels of calcium-chelating agents,] but a similar or lesser bioavailability than calcium from low-oxalate vegetables such as kale, broccoli, or other vegetables in the Brassica genus.Hope this helps,E.
