Growth hormones are banned on Canadian dairy farms.
- elif 9y agoArtificial growth hormones may be banned, but endogenous ones[0] are unavoidable. Cow's milk evolved to make calves grow, this is not an avoidable minutia when attempting to comparatively characterize milk alternatives as stunting growth, but likely the central finding.

- irixusr 9y agoUnavoidable? Hardly. You just have a veal industry on the side. Milk has been produced for millennia before hormones of any type were added. Furthermore Canada has milk production quotas so, depending how they're set, hormones might not be necessary to max production at all.
