Abstract in brief

The milk from cows treated with biosynthetic growth hormones like rBGH contains significantly higher and more active levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), which can be further increased through pasteurization.
Evidence shows IGF1 is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, with studies indicating it promotes growth in rats, suggesting that infants could absorb even more, raising concerns about its effects.
Research suggests that elevated IGF1 levels in milk may be linked to increased risks of breast and gastrointestinal cancers, raising questions about regulatory oversight and safety.]
