Starbucks says no to milk with growth hormone

SEATTLE -- Starbucks Coffee has begun using milk products without an artificial growth hormone in several regions, including New England.

Officials of the Seattle-based chain say dairy products sold in those regions no longer contain Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone.

Some advocacy groups say there has not been enough research on the effects on humans from milk products from cows that were given of the hormone.

Dairy operators who use the hormone say there is no scientific evidence to suggest any effect on humans.
