ABCNEWS: Is Cow's Milk Additive Safe? - A genetically engineered drug called bovine growth hormone (BGH) has been given to 30 percent of U.S. dairy cows over the last five years to make them produce more milk. There has been indirect evidence that BGH might contribute to breast and prostate cancer in humans, and today a consumer group called the Center for Food Safety began legal action to have the hormone pulled off the market.
 
Consumers Union: U.S. and Europe Agree to Disagree on Safety of Dairy Hormone - Report on a decision by the U.N.'s main food safety body, the Codex Alimentarius Commission, not to endorse recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH), due to lack of consensus in the scientific community on its safety.
 
Dairy Cows - A variety of topics associated with the use of BGH, including excerpts from the Monsanto warning labels, the firing of an FDA staff member who opposed approval, and the politics of dairy farming.
 
HungerStrike Central - Statements by Richard Cohen, who went on a 205 day hunger strike to protest the introduction of milk from bGH-treated cows into the American food chain. Sharply critical of Monsanto and the FDA's actions.

Milk and the Cancer Connection - Comprehensive review of the link between cancer and milk from cows treated with bovine growth hormone at Victoria's 'Net-Active' Community.
 
Report on Grievance Hearings - The scientists described in detail how they were pressured by senior Health Canada management to approve BGH and other products of questionable safety. They said said that when they hesitated to approve drugs they considered unsafe, they were threatened by their superiors with personal law suits by drug companies, charged with insubordination, harassed, and isolated in their research.
 
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Press Release on the Approval of Sometribove - Formal report on the approval of milk from bST-treated cows for human consumption in the US, including the conclusion that milk from treated cows is indistinguishable from milk from non-treated cows, the added risk of mastitis, and the manufacturer's agreement to conduct follow-up studies on drug residues in milk.
