<<Milk produced with rBGH has been widely banned by nations including 29 European countries: Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Australia. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDÅ) has no restrictions on the milk and no plans for cancer risk waning labels.>>

Okay, so the FDA should ban a product when there is no PROOF that it causes any harm at all?? By the way, Europe, Canada, New Zealand and Australia based their bans more on supply control than on scientifically based health concerns. Milk is milk, Mr. Epstein.

<<"The pesticides that end up in developing countries can do even greater harm because the workers lack protective clothing and equipment. As a result, women and children are often doing the work and are highly susceptible to injury," Smith said.>>

This is a straw man point to the China debate. What is being said is that the product from the US is dangerous because it is being handled improperly. The China products are child and baby toys with lead paint that are likely to be handled in a way that is normal and dangerous.
