Dear Everyone:
   I just got a publication from "Mothers&others" which is a grassroots
consumer group. The focus of this pamphlet is about rBGH (the genetically
engineered hormone injected into cows to increase their milk production).
Makes me wonder why the heavy advertising campaigns are increasing in
intensity....any connection between rBGH and that everyone should drink lots
of milk?
   At any rate, there is a study by HealthCanada, which is the Canadian
version of the Food and Drug Administration in the States. Apparently there
are major gaps in the human safety review of rBGH, and this study is cited as
saying that the FDA approval of rBGH was based on incorrect assumptions and an
apparent cover-up of test results. Infants and young children may be most at
risk from rBGH milk.
   Do any Lactnuts from Canada know anything about this study?
   Mothers&Others have a website: www.mothers.org/mothers.
   Do all the formula manufacturers use organic milk when they make ABM so as
to ensure the health of  babies? I certainly hope so.....warmly, Nikki
