> I did a research paper on bovine milk. Its pretty amazing the hormones that are found in a percentage of milk. The main one is IGF-1 which helps the cows produce more milk. The bovine IGF-1 is identical to the human version which is commonly used as a steroid. People are using anabolic steroids without even knowing although the amounts are small which means you would have to drown yourself in milk daily to see any results. Its just the fact that it is found in the milk and there is no way to filter it out. I guess that’s what will happen when you introduce business strategies to agriculture.

This is why my wife and I buy organic milk. It started with organic milk and now we get organic meats also. That’s pretty much the extent of it though, we don’t get too much into the organic fruits and veggies (with the exception of the local stuff we buy in the summer).
