In Florida, they put pressure on a FOX television station, which then fired two award- winning journalists with over 20 years experience for attempting to report on the dark side of bovine growth hormone. These two reporters are now suing the network. This whole mess is disgusting. It shouldn't surprise you that all of Europe and Canada have banned this hormone and we are the only major industrial country espousing and using it. To start with, knock off drinking milk altogether.
Fluid milk is likely to be the most highly concentrated, easily absorbed source of growth hormones.
Instead use soy milk or rice milk in your coffee, cereal and cooking. You'll find dairy-free cheeses, ice cream and drinks in your health food store. A growing number of dairies offer organic or hormone-free dairy products. A few months ago I joined Robert Cohen as a board member of his newly formed Dairy Education Board. Dr. Whitaker dedicates the remainder of this issue of his newsletter to osteoporosis and heart disease.
