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.

Does milk in Canada contain Bovine Growth Hormone?

The answer is no. The story of Bovine Growth Hormone and Canada is a lengthy one. Unlike the U.S., which quickly approved BGH with minimal testing, Canada's Animal Safety Division attempted to do a thorough investigation to determine if BGH was present in the milk of the cows it was given to. One of the lead scientists was Margaret Hayden. Margaret Hayden found problems such as mastitis or inflammation of the udder which results in puss in the milk, knee and shoulder problems, deformed babies, and a reduction in lifespan of up to two years. Based on these findings, Dr. Hayden recommended BGH not be approved. Margaret Hayden then attended a meeting with Monsanto officials where records show they offered Health Canada one to two million dollars to approve BGH without any further studies. Margaret Hayden told the public about this meeting and the offer of money to approve BGH. As a result of the ensuing scandal, Health Canada chose not to approve BGH.
