Tests Show Milk Contains 20 Different Drugs.

Using a state-of-the-art test, scientists revealed that a single glass of milk contains 20 different drugs including painkillers, hormones, anti-fungals, and antibiotics. The dosages are so tiny that they are said to be harmless but the idea of pouring pills on your morning cereal is not too exciting.

Medicine filled milk is an unfortunate sign of the times. Animals on factory farms are fed 35 million pounds of antibiotics every year. People are throwing their prescription pills down toilets and into landfills where they dissolve and enter the water supply only to be absorbed by fish or drank by the animals we eat. It was even found recently that fish are being poisoned by Prozac in the water supply, damaging their normal brain function.

Whether you drink milk or not, it’s easy to look at these facts and say that more should be done to reduce or eliminate the amount of drugs given to animals on factory farms. There’s no reason we should be eating food that takes more drugs than we do.
