As a lot of people know, I believe there is a milk conspiracy. The war between organic and hormone grown rages on, if you just google about it there's several websites dedicated to it and the organic and not websites say really mean things about each other. Very entertaining, I promise. Anyway, to drink or not to drink, that is your decision. But there are some things you should know before you choose.
Growth Hormone is a Peptide Hormone!
This is really important to realize because it means Growth Hormone (GH) is just a protein. (Here's the 3D image of the amino acid sequence)
Think of it analogous to steak, a big nice protein. And when you drink the milk your stomach does the same thing it does when you eat steak....it digests the protein.
So it doesn't matter if your milk has growth hormone it it or not. It won't affect you if your stomach digests it. That's why people (and some notorious athletes) getting growth hormone therapy inject it, so it can go directly into the bloodstream and do its hormone stuff on the muscles.
Your body simply doesn't use growth hormone from milk whether its organic or not.
