I don't think anyone is making asumptions here... There is study after study that indicates that BGH and the antibiotics that are given to cows is a serious problem. So much so that much of Europe has banned the practice.

However, like the tobacco companies, agribusiness has a vested interest in saying just the opposite. They come up with studies showing that there is no problem with what we are doing to our cattle and that it does not transfer to the food supply.

If I have certified organic food, I can be 100% assured that it organic (i.e. no pesticides, hormones, genetic modification, etc.).

Yes, there are issues in other countries but that largely stems from refrigeration and storage.
