MILK. It's been a staple for ages among children, adolescents and adults. We're told milk helps build strong teeth and bones and healthy bodies.

Over the last several years, scientists have been developing genetically engineered products to help dairy cows produce more milk. q Last Nov. 5, the Food and Drug Administration approved one such product, sometribove (Posilac), Monsanto Co.'s genetically engineered bovine somatotropin (bST).
