Real threats to public health Despite years of promotion by biotechnology cheerleaders such as Henry Miller ("Gore vs. the environment," Commentary, Saturday), consumers are justifiably wary of milk produced with the artificial growth hormone recombinant bovine somatotropin, or rBST. Bovine somatotropin (bST) is a protein hormone that occurs naturally in cows. rBST is the genetically modified version used to increase milk production. Proponents of rBST claim that it is indistinguishable from the naturally occurring hormone, but the United States is the only industrialized country to approve rBST. Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the European Union outlawed the artificial hormone due to unanswered questions about links to breast, colon and prostate cancer, as well as increased rates of infections in cows.
