My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

"Now that the FDA-approved Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) is in widespread use, milk drinkers are getting more than hormone and antibiotic residue in each glass. Many are gulping down "Pus" with their milk, the byproduct of Mastitis, an infection of the udder and one of the side effects of rBGH. The FDA has acknowledged eight painful side effects of rBGH in cows: The exacerbation of mastitis, uterine disorders, ovarian cysts, liver degeneration, joint disorders, calcium depleted bones, excessive weight gain, and an increased risk of breast cancer. In the only long term study published on the effects of rBGH in cows, 33% died after the second lactation. Of these, 15% became victims of "downed cattle syndrome" in which an animal becomes too sick or weak to stand. This is a direct result of excessive body weight due to overeating, to supplement excessive milk production, and loss of calcium caused by overproduction of milk stimulated by rBGH."
(Last Chance For Animals)

If the damage to animals isn't enough-

The most compelling issue is that the rBGH creates an extra amino acid, has been banned in the UK and Canada and other countries, had only 90 days of a 180 day testing process submitted to the FDA (Robert Cohen's FDA Testimony, and "The Corporation").
