As far as bovine growth hormone is concerned, you could drink a vial of it and it would have no effect on you at all. Primate growth hormone receptors are incapable of interacting with non-primate growth hormones.

That was my initial thoughts regarding bovine hormones.

But I have thought that the non-hormone certified milk tastes more rich.

Also a certain brand of milk (they do not use any hormones), Jilbert's, from my hometown area (say yah to da UP eh?) tastes much better to me than the milk we drink around here! I wonder why. Been meaning to call the dairy when I'm home and ask them. My sister hates it, says it tastes like grass.

The feed can affect taste, of course. Dietary lipids, especially. My uncle had to be careful to keep the cows away from wild garlic in the spring.

Must be free-range cows.
