| i don't know how true this is...but i'll share anyway I got this in an email...just thought i would share in case it is true Everyone should know about this. WAL-MART MILK Just in case any of you shop at Wal-Mart like me, you might want to reconsider buying their Milk after reading this... Please read this and pass along to as many people as you can think of. Mitzi Lyons and her husband Kyle live in Gainesville , TX .. Their daughter, Marissa, has been experiencing menstrual problems (bleeding every day) for three years and within the last year; she started producing milk (lactating). They have performed every test, every surgery, put her on birth control and in January were scheduled to undergo a hysterectomy. NEVERTHELESS, Mitzi's dad started researching his granddaughter's condition on the internet found out about RBST in milk. RBST is a hormone injected into cows to produce more milk. Wal-Mart Great Value milk contains RBST and is the brand that the Lyons family has used for years. Three months ago, they pulled Marissa off Great Value Milk and she quit bleeding and lactating. < SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Georgia">Her doctors in Houston are going to write a medical journal discovery about her case, because the FDA says that RBST is safe. Mitzi asked me to please share this with everyone I could think of to I hope that save someone the pain and suffering that Marissa has endured. I have pulled my family from Wal-Mart Great Value milk and bought Borden instead. Borden has a label on their milk that states that RBST is not used on their cows. Please pass this on......

| thanks ladies i knew someone would give us the snopes scoop although they say it is not dangerous for human consumption, i don't want my daughter taking in hormones like that. which is why she drinks soy milk, we buy our meats labeled "hormone free" and such from the organic food store, same deal with our eggs...free roam, cage free. we try to do what we can to buy foods that are as natural as possible without being freaks about it. but i see 10 year old girls shopping for bra's and i can't help but wonder if it is because of all of the added hormones in our meats and dairy products. i just rather be safe than sorry with my little girl.

| Did you read the whole article? Milk from a cow not given the hormone costs 2x that of milk from a cow given the hormone! How SICK is that???? Most people can only afford milk that could potentially give them colon, prostate or breast cancer! (oh and canada outlawed it too) How lovely!!! I cannot believe NATURAL milk from a natural cow is THAT much more expensive. Sometimes I really do wish I grew up in earlier days. I just don't get this world.
