Should I start buying organic milk?

Question by Caesarion: Should I start buying organic milk?
I've heard some bad things about regular cow's milk commonly sold at most stores...like most other produce, growth hormone is used to create more product for less price.

So anyway, I was wondering if it would be worth it to start buying organic milk. The only problem is, it's very expensive. I can get regular milk for about $ 1.80 a gallon, while the organic milk runs for around $ 7 a gallon. Wow.

So what are your opinions? Should I buy into the skepticism about the regular milk, or just stick with it since I've been drinking it my whole life? I mean, just because cow's are injected with growth hormones doesn't necessarily mean that they are at a level high enough in the milk to harm the consumers of it. What do you think?
I do weight training and soy products aren't good for males trying to put on muscle. Screws up the good hormones.

As far as it lasting longer, that's never a problem for me, I down a gallon of milk a week. I have to try to stop drinking it so much so that I don't have to go to the market more than once a week.
Here's a link to some of the responses to a question I asked about cow's milk a few days ago:

What should I do about my really small twelve year old?

Question by plurplszr: What should I do about my really small twelve year old?
My son is in the tenth percentil of his age group. People think that he is eight years old. He has always followed his growth curve and his doctor has mentioned the potential of human growth hormone in benefiting him. He has no medical conditions. His father is 6'4 and I am 5'3". His doctor says he should be six foot when he does grow, but it seems like he will never hit a growth spurt. It effects his self esteem when every one calls him shorty, and his friends lean there elbows on his head. I don;t know if I should pursue the growth hormone shots or see where nature takes him?


Best answer:

Answer by ?? ƒ?????
See where nature takes him. Those hormones might have bad affects later. Just tell him to stand up for himself.

Is the decrease in secretion of human growth hormone natural as we age or should it be treated as a disease?

Question by sds aad: Is the decrease in secretion of human growth hormone natural as we age or should it be treated as a disease?
And therefore need to administer hormone replacement therapy? Is the body "supposed" to have decreased levels as we get older? Are there any negatives to replacing it?


Best answer:

Answer by Lone Wolf
Well, good question. Whether it is "natural" or not, it is ubiquitous. I think of it as inseparable from the aging process since it is tied in to virtually every aspect of our well being. It fortifies our immune system, builds muscle, and burns fat.

Natural release of HGR by the pituitary is stimulated by many things, sleep, exercise, caloric restriction. It is restricted by some dietary items (simple carbohydrates/sugars and "protein" - quotes because it is just certain amino acids and not the whole protein molecule) and stimulated by other amino acids (Arginine, Ornithine, Tryptophan for instance).

The only reason I can think of not to try and stimulate the release (I am not in favor of injections except for extreme cases) is if there is a pre-existing cancerous growth - it could cause that growth to be stimulated.

should family members of cancer patients take human growth hormone?

Question by Jason: should family members of cancer patients take human growth hormone?
my mother had breast cancer and she made it seem that i was at more of a risk taking human growth hormones so im wondering if that's so?


Best answer:

Answer by BSherman
Human growth hormone (HGH) is appropriate for a very narrow range of medical conditions and should only be taken under the direction of a physician.

The illegal use of HGH and counterfeit substances claiming to be HGH are widespread. Many people believe that athletic and sexual performance can be boosted through use of HGH, but they are playing with fire. HGH is a powerful bio-chemical agent that presents many risks.
