rBGH ?

[sigen8]

Hi, I've been looking at the anti-GMO claims lately (funny stuff) and I am wondering about the specific claim about the rBGH "crisis".



I've looked at fiew studies about the adverse effets on animals, but I didn't found any studies pointing actual harm for humans. I know there's been discussions here about GMO and monsanto or rBGH but I didn't found any link for that studies (yet). Can someone point out any link ?

Thank you

Just to be clear, we're talking about the impact of Bovine somatotropin on humans? Just wanting to make sure I didn't misunderstand the OP's intention.

Exactly, I've seen the studies in the wiki of your link, and some others too, but I'm a bit skeptical. It seems that there is no issues associated with Bovine somatotropin, other than impacts on the animals themselves.

I see too conclusions :

- Studies haven't found yet impact on humans (after 20 years we could say it's safe)

- There is an impact (and I'm bad at searching or reading studies).

Pubmed might be a decent starting point.

Searching "bovine somatotropin" returns about 6000 entries, although you'll be able to narrow that down with the addition of some more specific keywords.
