下面是link.大概说的是，奶牛的食物里加了rBGH,一种重组的牛生长激素，可能会致癌
。建议买walmart的great value牛奶，没用这个激素。

Milk produced with artificial hormones
Rick North, project director of the Campaign for Safe Food at the Oregon
Physicians for Social Responsibility and former CEO of the Oregon division
of the American Cancer Society, gives us the scoop:
The problem: Milk producers treat their dairy cattle with recombinant bovine
growth hormone (rBGH or rBST, as it is also known) to boost milk production
. But rBGH also increases udder infections and even pus in the milk. It also
leads to higher levels of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor in
milk. In people, high levels of IGF-1 may contribute to breast, prostate,
and colon cancers. "When the government approved rBGH, it was thought that
IGF-1 from milk would be broken down in the human digestive tract," says
North. As it turns out, the casein in milk protects most of it, according to
several independent studies. "There's not 100% proof that this is
increasing cancer in humans," admits North. "However, it's banned in most
industrialized countries."
The solution: Check labels for rBGH-free, rBST-free, produced without
artificial hormones, or organic milk. These phrases indicate rBGH-free
products.
Budget tip: Try Wal-Mart's Great Value label, which does not use rBGH.
