quote from the article
"While biotechnology opponents make much of these bans, it is important to note that neither Canada nor the European Union dispute the scientific findings that rbST is safe and effective to use. They have banned rbST for political reasons. In Canada, for example, milk production is “centrally planned,” with production quotas established by government mandates. Increased milk production due to rbST use would disrupt a system designed to keep supply in balance with demand."
Hard to decide what to believe, the video or the article? The video says that Canada bans rbST because its potential danger to human health, not for "political reasons."
There is no danger to human health. BOTTOM LINE: Hormones are species specific. Drinking bovine growth hormone or serotonin will not stimulate your body to grow in an exponential fashion period.
Think about the milk that's produced in NYC that they sell at schools, cafe's, and convenience stores (the small half pints). You probably consume it, and it's not had a negative effect on you.
