"Recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring growth hormone somatotropin. It is approved for use in the US to increase the production of milk in dairy cattle. However, it is not approved for sale in Canada."

I dont believe rBST is allowed in milk in the UK either. What concerns some is tge TPP agreement would allow this product in milk and milk products andvthat it would not be marked as so in the products. While tgere is no evidence (yet) that it impacts human health, it seems to impact the cows health. The hirmone ix only used to increase milk production.


growth homones not in Canadian milk
