Do you know what you’re getting?

I’m happy that Mountain High Yoghurt was introduced to me. It’s such a relief for me to know that we’re NOT getting any rbST (artificial growth hormones) in the yoghurt. Some cows are  given these hormones to increase milk production. What it also increases is the incidences of udder infections in the poor cows, which can cause PUS IN THE MILK. Oh grooooossss. The government approved rbST because it thought that the human digestive tract could break down the resulting hormone it produces in milk, called insulin-like growth factor, or IGF-1. (Oh, the FDA…that could be a whole other post unto itself…) IGF-1 contributes to higher levels of breast, colon, and prostate cancers. 🙁 I can’t tell you how relieved I am to see a company selling yoghurt that actually cares – for both the consumers of their products and the cows that provide them! You can be assured also that you’re not getting any artificial colors, sweeteners, flavors, preservatives, or corn syrup. That takes the worry out of my yogurt shopping!
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Mountain High Yoghurt. I received a gift card to purchase yogurt, a product kit, and a promotional item to thank me for participating.
