Hi all you Braves!
I ran into an interesting notice in the flyer from my local organic co-op.
Says that Monsanto has had to decrease its availability of its genetic engineered growth hormone by up to 50% until it's Austrian plant has made some improvements. Seems these improvements were the result of too many batches not meeting the quality control tests. Seems both the FDA and Monsanto are keeping tight lips on details.
Here is a link to Dairyline:
www.dairyline.com and go to the News Archives.

I religiously avoid as many dairy products as possible that are made with milk from cows injected with this drug. There is a lot of reading to be found on this subject and its relation to cancer.
I also had something on this from the New York Times, but have lost the link.
