Nutrition and Health Factors: Drinking hormones and steroids with your Coffee?

While Starbucks claims to care about environmental and health issues, the truth is in their milk.

Starbucks uses milk from cows that are injected with a growth hormone known as rBGH or rBST to speed up their milk production. Tell Starbucks this is unacceptable! >>

These growth hormones are known to harm cows and could pose health risks to humans. But factory farms continue to use them as an attempt to increase their profitability. Starbucks lets them get away with using the damaging hormones by serving this milk to millions of unknowing consumers!

Let Starbucks know it’s time to step up and serve safer milk >> http://go.care2.com/e/R0DZ/IhP3/U1cM

The use of rBGH increases the rate of udder infections in cows, and contributes to the growth of antibiotic resistant bacteria. What’s more, injections of rBGH raise the levels of another hormone called IGF-1 in the cow and its milk. Too much IGF-1 in humans is linked to increased rates of colon, breast and prostate cancer.

The rBGH hormone is banned in Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and all 25 countries in the European Union. But the United State’s Food and Drug Administration ignores the growing controversy, allowing the damaging growth hormone to be used.

Join the movement of consumers who won’t tolerate being served milk from cows treated with dangerous growth hormones. Take action >>
