3. Milk with Artificial Hormones

Cancer researchers won’t drink any milk that has come from cows given artificial hormones. If you haven’t heard about this yet, most diary famers give their cows an artificial hormone called recombinant bovine growth hormone, more commonly known as rBGH or sometimes rBST.

This hormone is used to increase milk production but can also increase infections in the udder and this can mean pus in the milk. This growth hormone can be passed on to people and can contribute to many types of cancer including prostate, breast, and colon cancer.

Most cancer researchers will tell you that the government approved this hormone believing it would be digested and broken down in the human digestive tract but that does not appear to be the case. You should note that this hormone is banned in most other industrialized countries. Your alternative?

Buy milk labeled hormone free or buy either raw or organic milk.
