Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Let the people do what they want, you get Woodstock. Let the government do what it wants, you get WACO!....Mary. Yoplait and Breast Cancer....please read this email If you're having trouble viewing this email, you may see it online. Tell Yoplait to Put a Lid on rBGH!Dear Friend,Pink ribbon products are popping up all over the place, reminding us that Breast Cancer Awareness Month is nearly here. One of the pink ribbon products you've probably seen in stores is Yoplait yogurt. Yoplait makes a 10 cent donation for every pink lid that consumers mail back to the company.Yoplait markets its yogurt as being healthy for women, but what's actually under the lid is a different story.Yoplait yogurt is made with milk from cows that have be en injected with the synthetic hormone recombinant bovine growth hormone (called rBGH or rBST). There are numerous health concerns surrounding rBGH, and breast cancer is one of them. The use of rBGH has been banned in the European Union, Canada, Australia, and Japan. rBGH is unsafe and unnecessary. Mega-corporations like Wal-Mart and Starbucks are already making their dairy products rBGH-free. If these companies can do it, Yoplait can too. Take Action: Tell Yoplait to Put a Lid on rBGH!If Yoplait, a popular item with such a wide distribution, were to go rBGH-free, it would help make a safer product for millions of women. And that could truly make a difference in breast cancer—helping to stop the disease before it starts.This October, instead of picking up lids, go online or pick up a pen, and ask the company to do the right thing for women's lives: tell Yoplait to put a lid on rBGH.Take action at thinkbeforeyoupink. orgSincerely,Barbara A.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Most breast cancers are estrogen-positive, and dairy is loaded with estrogen---especially the non-organic because of the injected hormones. Besides that, cancer feeds on sugar and yoplait has its fair (or unfair) share of the stuff! I have breast cancer and have been told to stay away from meat, dairy and sugar.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yoplait is a junk food even without the hormonal content. If their cows are weaned off rBGH for a period of time the hormonal levels will be below government levels. However, for those who understand the theory of homeopathy, lower levels can be just as potent.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 The addition of natural flavors without itemising what these natural flavors are would make me think that it is highly likely to chemicals better to be avoided. Why not put them on the label if there is nothing to hide? The fact that the FDA doesn't require disclosure as long as the FDA believes they are GRAS http://www.foodfacts.com/members/item_definition.cfm?id=3065 would not be enough reassurance for me to accept it to be safe. Certain chemicals also have the exemption of having to be on a label if the added amount is less than a minute percentage. Yoplait used to be one of the yogurts containing aspartame. I couldn't find anything that highlighted the fact that aspartame has been substituted for something else.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hello Jane, How many grams of sugar (or is it aspartame?) does yoplait have? Because it is my understanding that the yogurts with all the sugars aren't as beneficial to our health anyway and I would have to agree with Tony, that it falls in the catagory of JUNK FOOD.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hello Jane, Since you are not allowing me to post my messages on the forum anymore, I thought I would post it directly to you and Tony instead. Even if Yoplait came from untainted milk, it is still full of sugar (or is that aspartame?) and thus not really good for our health. Even I don't buy it. So I will have to agree with Tony (the American) that yoplait is JUNK food. I hope you don't ban Tony from his responses just because you don't like what he said just like you did to me.
