Research shows that synthetic growth hormones in milk can increase the risk of cancer in milk consumers. As a result, synthetic growth hormones for cows is banned in many countries (but not in the United States where the hormones are made). When you buy regular pasteurized milk in the United States the label gives no indication that the milk contains synthetic growth hormones, yet more than 95% of all pasteurized milk sold in regular stores and supermarkets contain these harmful hormones. This is causing concern for many American consumers, and as a result some companies such as Wal-Mart and the coffee-chain Starbucks are switching to milk free of synthetic growth hormones. What about deceptive labelling? When milk producers supply milk that is free of synthetic growth hormones, the milk is labelled as being "hormone free". This is entirely deceptive because no milk can be "hormone free". All types of dairy milk without exception contain bovine growth hormones known as IGF-1. Many studies show that these IGF-1 hormones can increase the risk of cancer in humans. Organic milk producers are the biggest culprits. A big selling point for organic milk in the USA is that it does not contain synthetic growth hormones, and organic milk labels typically state: "hormone, antibiotics and pesticide-free." This, of course, is totally deceptive because, as stated, no milk is hormone free. So if milk is labelled "hormone free" it is not only deceptive but factually incorrect. Such labelling implies the milk has no growth hormones, and this is simply not so. Instead of labelling the milk "hormone free", it could be labelled "rBST free", "rBGH free", "free of artificial growth hormones", or even "free of synthetic growth hormones". To summarize, absolutely all kinds of dairy milk contain bovine growth hormones. Additionally, most U.S. milk also contains synthetic growth hormones. It is therefore deceiving and incorrect to label any kind of milk as being "hormone free". There is, however, one big exception: plant-based milks contain no harmful hormones. Non-dairy milk made from seeds, nuts, soybeans or rice is totally free of harmful hormones. Such milk is super-nutritious and truly delicious.
