Starbucks Milk Causes Cancer?

Well that's what some people are saying. Evidently, Starbucks uses milk from cows that have been given a hormone to increase their milk production. Studies have shown this hormone causes cancer. I know it's better for you to try to purchase milk that is hormone & antibiotic free at the store. Makes sense you need to be careful when eating out as well. I personally find milk disgusting. I've never liked the taste of it, although chocolate milk isn't bad. Did you know that we are the only species on the planet that drinks another animal's milk on a consistent basis? Yes there's the odd case where an orphaned or abandoned animal is "adopted" by another animal, definitely not the same as humans pouring another animal's milk into our cereal bowl though. So you can always write, email or call Starbucks to complain about the milk they're using. They're supposed to be so hip and cool, why aren't they using organic or soy milk?

no one uses organic milk. that is something you would have to buy on your own. the world is a sick place. the things that they put in our food and drink supplies is just disgusting. things are slowly changing for the better though. i dont go to starbucks so i am not worries for me but everyone that goes there, or anyplace that serves milk or any reason should be. we buy organic milk in my house. it is a little more expensive but i feel that it is so worth if for my growing children to not be exposed to whatever i can possible change.

I haven't heard that before, but that's pretty gross. I guess I should be glad that I don't really go to Starbucks much!

Just about all the milk you'd buy in the supermarket applies to the same store, most of the meat you eat as well. All no difference, don't worry about that ;). No need to go to starbucks for your daily doses.
