Great information

If you can't afford to purchase organic cow dairy products, at least try to purchase those that are rBGH-free. The use of this hormone has been banned in Europe and Canada since it has been shown to cause several forms of cancer. Monsanto has very strong lobbies here and have been successful at influencing media outlets not to report the dangers of the hormone. They are also working with politicians to make it illegal to label rGBH-free dairy as such. Pennsylvania was set to ban this labeling effective February 1st, however they backed down due to public outcry.
