The Corporation

:29:01

and one in every three
women get cancer.

:29:21

Towards the end
of 1989

:29:24

a great box of documents
arrived at my office

:29:27

without any indication
where they came from.

:29:30

And I opened them

:29:33

and found in it a complete
set of Monsanto files

:29:36

dealing with toxicological
testing of cows

:29:41

who’d been given RBGH.

:29:43

BST trade name Posilac is
being used in more than

:29:46

a quarter of the dairy herds
in the United States

:29:48

according to Monsanto.

:29:50

The milk is being drunk
by a large portion

:29:52

of the American population

:29:54

since the food and drug
administration declared it safe

:29:56

for both cows and humans...

:29:58

And at that the
Monsanto was saying

:30:00

There’s no
evidence whatsoever

:30:01

of any adverse affects

:30:03

We don’t use antibiotics.

:30:05

And this clearly showed
that they had lied

:30:08

through their teeth.

:30:16

The files described areas
of chronic inflammation

:30:19

in the heart lungs
kidneys spleen

:30:20

also reproductive effects

:30:23

also a whole series
of other problems.

:30:28

...the most comprehensive
independent assessment of the drug

:30:30

"concludes that bust
results in un necessary pain

:30:34

suffering and
distress for the cows.

:30:36

This is not acceptable
for a drug designed simply

:30:39

to increase milk production...

:30:42

It is a silly product.

:30:44

We have the industrial
world is a wash in milk.

:30:47

We're over producing milk.

:30:49

We actually have governments
around the world

:30:51

who pay farmers not
to produce milk.

:30:53

So the first product
Monsanto comes up with

:30:56

is a product that produces
more of what we don’t need.

:30:59

Of course you’ll want to inject
Posilac in every eligible cow
