Monsanto’s attack on this dairy farm is not surprising. Anything that threatens their bottom line, even a small farm’s attempt to inform consumers about the contents of their milk, will drive this $4.7-billion biotech company to take action. If this genetically engineered hormone is as safe as Monsanto claims, I don’t see why they would feel threatened by this small dairy’s labels.

At any rate, I would certainly avoid consuming any genetically engineered substance, as their effects on humans are completely unknown, and the use of growth hormones in livestock has certainly NOT been proven safe, and there are no overriding benefits that would justify its risks.

I do not recommend drinking pasteurized milk, however, even if it doesn’t contain hormones. This is because pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamin B12, and vitamin B6, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens and is associated with allergies, increased tooth decay, colic in infants, growth problems in children, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease and cancer.

Raw milk is a completely different food than commercial milk. Just as raw eggs are far superior to cooked eggs, raw milk is superior to pasteurized milk, which has lost much of its healing potential.

Sally Fallon has compiled a Web site that provides further information about this important food source, including where you can purchase raw milk. I highly recommend that you look into the benefits of raw milk further, and consider locating a regular source for it.
