            organic living journey rBST and rBGH in milk

            The following is part of an ORGANIC JOURNEY GUEST POST SERIES, written by Amy a long time helper behind the scenes of Southern Savers.

            I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and took at least one baby step in your journey. I made a double batch of the broccoli rice casserole and a homemade apple pie, which were both devoured.  Two big steps for me this year!  Next year, I’ll tackle the cranberry sauce because mercy, the stuff in the can is just so good and easy.  No judgment, we’re taking baby steps here, friends.  To revamp everything is too much and we quit, remember?

            So now, back to our exploration of dairy.  We waded through the benefits and dangers of both raw and pasteurized milk last time, and now, we are going to discover what on earth rBST and rBGH are – because we can’t figure out how to spend our money wisely until we know what we should be investing in.

            Important Milk Lingo

            Cows naturally produce a hormone called bovine somatotropin or bST for short.  This hormone is produced by the cow’s pituitary gland and is what helps them have normal milk production.

            Now, some scientists got creative and made a synthetic version of this hormone that mimics the effects of bST.  This synthetic hormone is called recombinant bovine somatotropin, rBST or recombinant bovine growth hormone, rBGH.  Why give a cow a synthetic hormone that mimics what they already have in their bodies?  Sources say that it will boost the milk production of cows by 10% over 300 day time span.  So more milk from the same cow means more money in the farmer’s pocket.

            What Effects Do Synthetic Hormones Have?

            There are lots of reasons that these synthetic hormones have gotten a bad rap.  Here are a few. Read More→

                  In our house we go light on the gifts under the tree and heavy on stockings.  It’s a ton of fun to see what I can pack into them and basically pay nothing for!  In years past we’ve tackled stocking for the entire family (including extended family) and maybe spent $20 on all of it.

                  In an effort to help you stuff stockings full of goodies, I’m going to do a round up of some of the top deals each week around town.  Here’s this weeks list:
