Illegal in 13 states to criticize milk/ growth hormone- good or bad?

[Guest guest]

Thanks for this interesting article but one thing

I'm confused on...hgh. Is it bad or good. Seems

in some discussions people trying to get it for

better health and vigor and here it seems it must

be avoided. Anyone understand this? barb
