Adding that the additives are not harmful to humans as they are for cows.
The writer is very confident and seems to use an appeal of logos and ethos combined. In the article the writer uses logos by using many fact’s, percentages and information. She uses Ethos when she uses the FDA and the facts of scientific research. The writer is very confident that cow’s milk is safe for human consumption and she also shows a clear tone throughout her article. which makes the reader feel confident cow’s milk is safe to drink. An example of the writers confidence and appeal of ethos in her persuasive way to prove cow’s milk is safe for humans is using that the FDA had concluded the growth hormone presents no increased health risk to consumers. She also notes there is growth hormone found in all milks, human and animals. And that the growth hormone is digested into amino acids like other proteins. By the writer using the FDA to state facts is a good way to make everyone believe cow’s milk is safe to consume, FDA has to approve if items are good or bad. When consumers see that the FDA has approved a certain item they usually feel more confident …show more content…
Through different studies it has been shown that the growth hormone is destroyed during digestion and only a small amount can be traced. Another concern is that the rbST is that it can cause biological effects. The writer states that even if the BST was absorbed by human consumption, the human growth hormone receptors would not recognize the cow BST resulting in not being able to cause biological effects in humans. The concern of IGF is not a concern to the United States and FDA because humans naturally produce IGF and is present in many places in the human body like saliva, liver, pancreatic juice, and a few other places. When IGF in humans increases it can not be absorbed in the stomach or intestines. and even if it was absorbed it would be less than 0.06% of the daily production. Now there is the reason why infants are not supposed to have milk at an early age. their bodies, intestines are not ready to handle the increase.
In other countries (rbST) has been banned and deemed unsafe for human consumption. The FDA has cleared cow’s milk safe for human consumption and there has been many studies done on the health risks of consuming cow’s milk. So therefore we should not avoid drinking it or believe
