I thought just the recombinant BGH (rBGH, trade-name Prosilac) was banned in Europe in the mid-late 1990s. The "natural" form has been synthesized and used since the 1980s.... am I misinformed on this topic?
The use of rBGH is one reason that most nations will not import US beef & milk - and with good cause! Another possibility is inequality in wealth distribution - as wealth is more equally distributed across a society, it seems that their members get taller. At least, that's the current 'most rational' explanation for the Dutch height issue (Dutch men average 6'1" now - a 7 inch gain over the past 150 years or so).
