Q:
I recently purchase a pound of stick butter and noticed on the box that it said “No rbGH”. Can you please explain what rbGH is?
A:
RbGH is the acronym for recombinant (genetically engineered) bovine growth hormone, which, when injected into dairy cows increases milk production by 10 to 15 percent, as well as increasing the incidences of mastitis, lameness and reproductive complications. The FDA'S (Federal Drug Administration) approval of rbgh, was perhaps the most controversial approval in FDA history according to Jeffrey M. Smith, author of Seeds of Deception. After years of declining sales and several legal setbacks, Monsato, the product's maker, has officially dumped rbGH. The reason; pressure from consumers, dairies, cafes and restaurants committed to sourcing dairy from rbGH cows.
