After 20 years of B.S. from the FDA, a court in Ohio this week FINALLY recognized the same science that experts have been touting all along. The court case was about rbGH - Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone - an artificial hormone first made and sold by Monsanto, and now by Elanco, a division of Eli Lilly.
From the beginning, the FDA has said there is "no compositional difference" between milk from cows shot up with rbGH and milk from untreated cows. (For simplicity's sake, I am going to refer to these as rbGH milk and rbGH-free milk.) Scientists said otherwise. And Monsanto, for its part, gave the FDA only SOME of the data, in such a way that made rbGH look better... and tried to intimidate scientists and academic journals to keep them quiet.
But the Ohio court has now recognized the 20 year old science proving:
- rbGH milk has more pus in it, making it sour quicker.
- rbGH milk is less nutritious than rbGH-free milk.
- rbGH milk has more IGF-1 (a hormone linked to some cancers) in it.
