>>Ordinary milk often lacks the BGH too, but you can't be sure. BGH doesn't get into milk. What does, is the secondary hormone which BGF induces, called IGF-1. However, all milk contains IGF-1 (including normal cow and human milk), and r-BGH treatment of cows increases normal levels of IGF-1 so little that it's hard to tell the difference, except statistically (ie, the mean difference is far less than the normal statistical spread in IGF-1 levels). Incidentally, the issue is sensitive because although BGH is different from human GH, the IGF-1's of humans and cows are identical.

NIH accepted this without question. The Ag-Canada rBST TAsk Force accepted these figures. Now along comes Harris, to spin the opposite. > except statistically (ie, the mean difference is far less than the > normal statistical spread in IGF-1 levels). > Incidentally, the issue is sensitive because although BGH is different > from human GH, the IGF-1's of humans and cows are identical. > SBH |
