Well this is what's been happening for over 10 years in America. In late 1993, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave permission to the Monsanto corporation to market "Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone" or "rBGH". rBGH is a genetically engineered copy of a naturally-occurring hormone produced by cows.The purpose of rBGH is to enable cows to produce more milk than they naturally would. And although this is great for the dairy economy and The Monsanto corporation, studies have shown that it is not so great for consumers. According to recent studies, rBGH has been linked to breast and prostate cancer, as well as other serious health concerns. Eighteen nations have banned rBGH, citing its toxicity to both cows and humans. |
| This includes the 15-member European Union, Australia and New Zealand. In January 1999, Canada also banned rBGH because of the adverse health effects on cows. So, why is American still marketing this product? That's a good question.The FDA has been challenged on many occasions about their approval of rBGH. Nothing, however has been able to retract their approval of rBGH. Monsanto has even paid for a law which made it illegal for stores to advertise that they sell "hormone-free" milk. In the end, consumers are still unaware of this harmful artificial hormone, while Monsanto's profits are estimated at $300 -$500 million annually, at our expense. Now, that's something to think about. Makalesia is a Bay Area Free Radical |
Poison in the Fridge (Information) How would you feel if I told you there was a product in the market that is considered unsafe by other nations, but not by the United States? And although this product is marketed in the US, most consumers are not aware of the risk posed by this product since it's not labeled? If you're like me, you would probably be surprised. |
