Bovine Growth Hormone: Cancer Risk?
Most milk sold in the United States is from cows that have been treated with bovine growth hormone (BGH) to boost production.
BGH – banned in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, and the European Union – causes milk to contain more of a substance called IGF-1 or insulin growth factor, which has been linked to breast, colon, and prostate cancers.
Milk with BGH is not required to be labeled as such. The only way to ensure hormone-free milk is to buy organic or milk labeled “rBGH/rBST-Free.”
