have you even thought about what goes into making milk ? its the cows strength vitality and life energy which we get as milk. Cows are not just resources but another life form. Is exploitation of a life form the only intelligence we have ? Sometimes its the colonies, sometimes its chained human slaves sometimes its cows …

The article is clear that milk produced is different when cows are treated with rBST. Man made is surely wonderful when it works with the natural intelligence, however man’s greed is the spoiler. Monsanto is epitome of mans greed not man’s intelligence. Atleast can we spare basic things like food air and water ?

wow enrico, the hatred is palpable. what in the world did they do to you. college student eh? maybe a journalist? how about knee jerk liberal? your logic is insane. again, those countries didn’t ban rBST or rBGH because it was killing us. Canada still allows USA hormone treated milk and dairy products to be sold there. it’s safety is no different than organic milk, and Canada says so. they banned it elsewhere to destroy the competition to their dairy producers and pressure from the increasing liberal activists who hate everything man made. the other countries can’t stand protestors so they found a back door to ban it, because of an increase of sick cows. organic cows have the same diseases and their milk is safe and so is the hormone treated cows. the hormone increases yields thus giving farmers increasing revenue and consumers lower milk prices. (scary stuff). spare me all the talking point lies which are so predictable. big corporations aren’t killing us, they produce jobs and essential products (i know what hackneyed response you’ll come up with). the liberal agenda and the BIG BANKS are killing us. if monsanto developed a drug that would make you 21 again and immortal would you boycott it? i’m guessing you would, after you got your dose. have you even hit 21 yet?

Canada, Japan, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand are the bastion of liberal thinking (not reality). None of these countries, have found rBST or rBGH harmful to humans (because it isn’t). They do it so they can ban imports from the U.S. thus appeasing their dairyman who don’t want competition. So the nanny states capitulate because they don’t want the loonies like animal rights activists (it does increase diseases that are found in non treated cows by 12%) marching around their offices. The problem with that is that when you give into them the anti-rBST activists cry see there, they banned it so it must be bad. You have to suspend all logic to follow that conclusion. Those countries all state that milk from rBGH or rBST treated cows is safe. They ban it because of the health risks to THE COWS not humans. MILK IS MILK.

Thanks for the informative article. Unfortunate that this labeling requirement (“no material difference”) remains.
@oblio9090: the point isn’t that the cows are the same; the milk is the same, and therefore it’s safe (which we now know to be untrue). for sure, the cows are NOT the same, and that’s why they use it (for more milk).

If there is really no significant difference in cows treated with rbst and those that are not, then why ever do it? hmmm?

So why is the FDA able to Force small milk producers to advertise for Monsanto by putting a claim on their cartons that rBST is just fine? I don’t see other natural food producers having to pimp for artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners. This is obvious corruption.

I don’t support anything that contains something manufactured by Monsanto chemicals, period.
If EU and other first world countries banned this product is for a reason.
Big corporations are killing us.

While
rBGH milk is legal in the United States it is 90% banned in Canada, Japan, the
European Union, Australia and New Zealand. In the EU, both meat and dairy
products from the US are banned from import.
