Why You Don't Want rBGH (rBST) in Milk - No More Hormones!

[brainmerody]

Last time I checked my biochemistry book, proteins that are consumed don't make it into the blood, they are digested and broken down into amino acids. On a side note, if you were to stick yourself with a syringe full of rBST, nothing would happen. Why? Because it is BOVINE GH! We don't have the right stuff to utilize it essentially. We have our own version (simply called Growth Hormone). There has been plenty of research, you just have to open your web browser to look. rBST is identical to BST

[ryanwal126]

:) Does anyone else realize that "rBST" is a protein that is already produced by the cow? No difference from the "synthetic version" vs what the cow produces.

[MrIAMPSW]

i just randomly looked rbst milk up because i got some milk today that said *from a cow without rbst*

[plcollins1987]

did anyone else gag when she said puss in the milk?

[auroral]

Ok so how do we know which milk contains rBGH? And which ones dont?

[lemurgoddess]

FUCKING LOVE MILK

[KatherinePaulson]

You guys are a bunch of dumb ass'. Bovine is a hormone already in the cows head, when given an injection of rBST it just makes the cow produce more milk. Get educated and quit being paranoid soccer moms! Milk does not cause cancer of any sort nor is it gonna kill you.

[hardworkenfarmer]

why dont people get the real freaking story about rBST??????? this is all false

[untouchblz]

there is a guy posting vids on here, stating there is no difference between "rbst-free" milk and milk made with rbst injected cows. I already posted a comment telling him he's a joke.

[brainmerody]

@untouchblz

I'm sure you understand physiology and biochemistry much better than him! You should look up some scholarly research articles on it and get back to me!

Sincerely,

The guy studying biochemistry,nutrition, and veterinary medicine)

fuck Monsanto

evil empire



[zappatx]

Rice milk is a perfect replacement -

[theegapman]

Monsanto is the most despicable company in the world. Every developed country from Canada to the 27 nations of the EU to New Zealand have banned rBGH. Our government is a slave to corporate America and we are forced to live with rBGH. Consumers will finally end rBGH by purchasing milk/dairy from cows not injected. Nonetheless the FDA should have prevented this decades ago and it should never have gotten to this point.

Buy non rBGH milk! Tell your friends, family, school, supermarket, etc.

please look at both sides!

[twahs82]

i feel left out, i drank milk from cows with rbST all my life yet i don't have any medical problems,and don't know anybody with problems from it, why can there be such a BIG problem and it not effect ANYBODY I have ever known?

[jrm404]

Since GMO milk has only been around since 1994 and then only at a few dairy farms and you have been drinking RBGH Milk all your life. Then that means you are at the oldest 15 years old. If you make it to 30 then come back and let me know.

[twahs82]

ill let you know when im 100 too,that is if you're still here...and with your estimate on my age,im assuming youve never used the term 'all my life' to refer to most of your life,a very very long time,etc. and if so few dairies have used milk from rBST cows that have limited my age so much, why is it such a HUGE threat,why not attack something that attacks a majority of the population,not just the consumers of 'a few dairy farms'?

[jrm404]

When GMO milk first came out it was only in a few dairy farms. That was 1994. Today more dairy farms use the hormone in their cows. The biggest increase in dairy farms using RBGH came around 2000. RBGH Milk has only been on the kitchen table in this country for 15 years and the first few years that it was put on the market it was only used by a few dairy farms. No long term studies on human health were performed on RBGH Milk. The problem is we all seem to be in Monsanto's test tube to find out.

[jrm404]

This is not an attack against you. I'm just trying to make a point. I hope you live to 200 years.

[twahs82]

exactly,no long term studies were performed, and most places that i have heard where they did do studies,the results were inconclusive..yet rBST was sent to destroy us

[jrm404]

You are right. Also 70% of our crops are Genetically Modified (GMO) now. They are still doing the research but it seems there may be a direct correlation with an increase in child obesity, increase in sugar diabetes and an increase in heart disease since the GMOs have been introduced into our food chain.

[twahs82]

oh, food is our obesity problem, not from people choosing to play video games,watch T.V.,sit at their computers,etc. instead of getting out and being active,like working in the fields, playing sports, enjoying nature taking a hike biking backpacking etc.

[jrm404]

You are right but they are now doing studies to find out if GMO foods make these problems worse. They just don't know yet. If they had properly tested GMO foods for long term health risks on humans before it got to our fork then we wouldn't have this issue. Since 1998 sugar diabetes has more than tripled in some areas of the country. Obesity and sugar diabetes has always been a problem but it has gotten worse in recent years. Has GMO foods helped to make these problems worse? We don't know yet

[MrJdilbeck]

@jrm404 how about people push themselves away from the trough a little sooner?

[CrackerJackLee]

you can see the changes from a generational viewpoint, such as height and weight. also facial features have changed generationally. people are not as good looking as they were 50 years ago. the facial bone structure is out of whack. so is the general body shape (somatype). but if everyone in the generation experiences the same changes, who would notice?

[Oscarak4707202]

rBGH wasn't made for humans its made for cows.

[bholman801]

This is one of the reasons why their was a huge spike in obesity among the American population in the early 90's as well as a spike in teenage pregnancies.

[jrm404]

Good point. Also Penn State is doing studies on the disappearing Honey Bees through the Farm Bill. They think there may be a link to Genetically Modified Crops killing the Honey Bees.

[Gdawgs99]

@bholman801 Are you a moron?  Sex is what causes teen pregnancies, not milk.

[lobbert8]

@bholman801 It was also why the stock market crashed, why skittles taste good, and why i failed my math test in 3rd grade.

[Kingmaconha]

shiiit you think this shit makes you have big muscles

[stillwaterbg]

Does anyone else get sick of all this stuff that they keep finding out to cause cancer after its been used for like 15 years!?

[eyesoverskies]

yeah the thing that REALLY bothers me besides being poisoned on purpose is the fact that MANY do not beleive that.."THEY" would do something like this.

"THEY" are trusted. "they" ARE looking out for our best interest.

afterall, the FDA approved it right? cant possibly be bad.

we are ALL NUTS! they are SANE!

[wiskawind]

Fine, I stopped eating meat, I can stop buying and drinking their fucking milk too!

[obichops]

Monsanto is an evil corporation... Every turn I make looking into GMO they are behind it and covering up issues.

[Gdawgs99]

THis is the most disgusting false information that can possible be imagined. Way to LIE to world!! You dont want cows to have "hormones" then quit taking your birth control!

[queenievicky121]

whatever dude you probably work for monsanto oh and by the way how long has rbgh been around how long has birth control been around keep drinking it guess what do you even relize how bad cancer is in this country dont be pathetic

[Gdawgs99]

acutally "dude" Bst has been around for only 15yrs and if you go back and do the research cancer got really bad around the 70's. And why are we talking cancer? WHERE does it say that Bst causes "cancer"? What I'm saying is if you dont want 'hormones'(which is not correct cause its actually a protein) in your milk, then you shouldn't be putting other hormones on yourself. 15 yrs, and not one neg. FDA concern. Thats okay you feel this way, just another tool of PETA.

[QuinnCassidy]

well gdawgs i hope you replyed to that comment wearing a milk mustache..

[Gdawgs99]

Always do!

[HarshAMVcritic]

You have no idea how ignorent you are. If you truely belive that, you are just as ignorent as the rest of the world. Its those that relize the problem and act upon it, that make us sane and smart.

[Gdawgs99]

Ignorent? First off learn to spell, it's Ignorant. Secondly, unless you have truly educated yourself about BOTH sided of BST then you are the ignorant one.  With all the starving people in the world, how can you feel good about removing something that increases production, with NO side effects? It's sad to say that some people (you) need to go hungry for them to appreciate how lucky they really are. Go pop some more pills that have more side effects than what they treat.

[Neoconhater]

with NO side effects?

Lies and deception at best.

You have no facts to back up that claim whatsoever.

[kjygyrl]

u make a good point with the world hunger point of view, but I think the last thing companies in America that create and use the rBST hormone on cows are thinking about feeding the hungry or poor. Its all about money! Even our cheeses are made with milk from cows with hormones injected in them. Europe and many countries around the world ban rBST. Its horrible to say there is no side effects, its like wheres the line to side effects? Better safe then sorry.

[Gdawgs99]

At least you seem open minded. The only thing I have to say is "line of side effects", look at all our presciption drugs. A lot of the side effects are worse than the problem. And the FDA keeps passing them. rbst, has no side effects and yet its banned? Whats the deal with that?

[o0abdo0o]

We don't need "more production" for starving people in the world. The problem is not in the farmland and the resources. The problem is in US. There is enough food in the world. It's just that there are many greedy people, and food is not distributed properly. The U.S. has also set up puppet governments in many middle eastern and african countries and their corruption also destroys their economy and keeps people starving. To say we need more production to solve world hunger is a joke.

[jolonui]

Gdawgss99 - This does not and never has solved the problem of world hunger. You need to learn some facts. This product is dangerous, fact! another fact is world hunger is caused by (in this order) Greed, War and famine. There is plenty of food, seeds and technology to eradicate famine but according to the World health organisation, UN & greedy people, the world is over populated. Famine and aids conveniently solves this. Funny how these countries have the latests weapons & ammo but no food?

[Gdawgs99]

I wont argue that there are corrupt countries. Fine, I'll give you that. However, you can't say something is 'dangerous' without providing facts! And saying 'fact' does not constitute a fact. You must provide documented proof through Peer Reviewed material to say something is a Fact. Otherwise I could say you are an idoit,fact. However just because I put 'fact' after my sentence doesn't mean you are. Your peers must decide.

there is an OVER abundance of milk and this is the FIRST thing monsant comes up with?
