Got (genetically engineered) Milk? rBGH -Bovine Growth Hormone- Description

 

http://www.sevenstories.com/Book/index.cfm?GCOI=58322100410800

 

rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone), is a genetically engineered (GE)

potent variant of the natural growth hormone produced by cows.

 

Manufactured by Monsanto, it is sold to dairy farmers under the trade name

POSILAC.

 

Injection of this GE hormone forces cows to increase their milk production by

about 10%. Monsanto and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) insist that rBGH

milk is indistinguishable from natural milk and safe to cows and consumers.

 

However:

* rBGH makes cows sick. Monsanto has been forced to admit to about 20 veterinary

health risks on its Posilac label including mastitis and udder inflammation.

* rBGH milk is contaminated by pus from mastitis induced by rBGH, and

antibiotics used to treat the mastitis.

* rBGH milk is contaminated by the GE hormone which can be absorbed through the

gut and induce immunological effects.

* rBGH milk is chemically and nutritionally very different from natural milk.

* rBGH milk is supercharged with high levels of a natural growth factor (IGF-1),

excess levels of which have been incriminated as major causes of breast, colon,

and prostate cancers.

 

o rBGH factory farms pose a major threat to the viability of small dairy farms.

Thus, rBGH enriches Monsanto while posing risks but no benefits to the entire

U.S. population.

 

The health hazards to animals, the detriment to small farms, the cover-up in

Monsanto, all the negatives attached to rGBH are in no way balanced by any

benefits of increased milk production in view of the national surplus.

 

Got (genetically engineered) Milk? is a unique resource manual on rBGH milk. It

presents a comprehensive summary of the scientific literature since 1985, and

Dr. Epstein’s relatively inaccessible trail blazing scientific publications on

rBGH over the last decade. These publications have played a major role in

influencing foreign governments to ban rBGH milk.

 

Got (genetically engineered) Milk? includes Dr. Samuel Epstein’s press releases,

editorials, and extensive correspondence with key members of Congress and the

FDA.

 

Got (genetically engineered) Milk? documents evidence of interlocking conflicts

of interest between Monsanto and the White House, regulatory agencies, and

medical institutions including the American Medical Association and American

Cancer Society; Monsanto's white collar crime relating to suppression and

manipulation of information on the veterinary and public health hazards of rBGH

dairy products; and behind the scenes evidence of the Dairy Coalition’s " hit

squad " , which targeted and attempted to stifle and discredit the author.

 

Of additional interest is the real story behind Fox Television's firing of Jane

Akre, a veteran television reporter, following her extensive and in-depth

interview with the author on rBGH, and also his involvement as the lead expert

testifying on behalf of Jane in her subsequent successful litigation against

Fox.

 

Got (genetically engineered) Milk? presents other valuable resource materials

including listings of national and international anti-biotech public health,

veterinary and animal rights activist groups, and of rBGH-free U.S. dairy

producers, such as Horizon Organic and Swiss Valley Farms. Of key interest is

the book's critical relevance to the ongoing debate on GE foods, including

irrefutable evidence discrediting the unpublished " trust us " safety assurances

of Monsanto, and other GE food industries.

 

Got (genetically engineered) Milk? thus makes it clear that Monsanto's highly

deceptive track record on rBGH, compounded by FDA's complicity and refusal to

label rBGH milk, more than justify dismissal its assurances of safety of GE

foods.
