milking the truth
Many U.S. dairies have been questioned about the integrity of the milk they are distributing. The biggest concerns are the methods in which the cows are made to produce their milk. In the story written by Jane Akre about the milk producing drugs injected into the cows, she brings to question the safety of these milk producing drugs. Arkre uncovers the opinion of scientists who are not sure of the saftey of the milk producing drug called Posilaic. This is a very big issue that should not be overlooked, for the sake of our health and our future. The reason why scientists have a concern about the milk producing drugs is because the (F.D.A.) did very little testing on the long term effects the drug has on humans who consume the altered milk. According to Akre's report the cows that are injected with the milk producing drug almost always have more medical problems. These anamals also had more lameness, reproductive disorders, and udder infections. According to her published report, industry studies also found that milk from injected cows was diffrent from nature's version, having higher amounts of a spin-off hormone, an insulin-like growth factor known as (IGF-1
Monsanto has already convinced the american regulators that it is a safe drug. She spoke with Monsanto to particapate in the interview about the drug but Monsanto decliend. This is known as one of the most powerful promoters of cell growth in all of nature. At moments notice the reporters were told that the story was not going to air because Monsanto was disputing the contents of the story and would sue if the story aired. According to the published report, Akre confirmed the news that the longest test for long term human tonicity, such as cancer lasted only ninety days on thirty rats. The threat of a lawsuit was reviewd by Akre and she had facts that supported her claim about the saftey of the milk producing drug. Monsanto claims Posilac is the largest selling dariy animal drug in America. The network did not want a legal battle so they made the whole story go away. Monsanto has tried to defuse the problem by claiming the drug is safe because the (FDA) has cleard its use. Although the reporters had crates of facts supporting the accuracy of the report, it was pulled again. The facts about the rats that were tested, I feel that ninety days on thirty rats is not enough to justify the leaglelazation of the milk we drink. Akre also states in her report that the news of the sick rats has caused saftey regulators in Canada to ban Posilac untill more testing could be done on its safety toward humans. A reason to question the saftey is because Monsanto sued two small daries preventing them from lableing thier milk as not being injected with the drug. Another question that was brought up was the fact that the only major nation to approve the drug is the United States. The ergency to camaflauge the speculation of the effects by the drug's maker, leads us to believe there is some problem with their usage.
