For the past 18 months, Monsanto has been aggressively marketing its genetically-engineered hormone to farmers here and abroad, to increase the milk yield of dairy cows. However, new scientific studies published this summer suggest that milk from rBGH-treated cows may not be as safe for humans as was previously believed. Political troubles for rBGH are mounting as well. Monsanto is aggressively working to have such moratoriums lifted, but the newly-published scientific information seems certain to make Monsanto's task increasingly difficult.
