Topic: cow's milk info

A friend feels raw cow's milk is healthy. But that grocery store
purchased
cow's milk is un-healthy because of the pasteurization and homogenization
processes, and if NOT organic cow's milk, the addition of bovine growth
hormones.

Pasteurization:
Pasteurization destroys protective health-promoting nutrients that are in
milk.

Homogenization:
Homogenization makes it easier for the xanthine oxidase in milk to enter
the
blood stream. This enzyme damages arterial walls and causes coronary
artery
disease.

Bovine growth Hormones:
Bovine growth hormone elevates levels of another hormone, insulin-like
growth factor (not destroyed by pasteurization) , which causes cells to
divide and potentially become cancerous.

Sources please?

No, it doesn't. The research that claims it does is unfounded.

Not at all clear that this has any effect on humans who drink milk.
