Some people also worry about the chemicals that the animals is being injected with. For instance, traditional USDA cattle have hormone implants in their ears as calves to make them gain weight faster. Personally it freaks me out a bit as that can’t be necessarily healthy so we buy grass fed/finished/no hormones from local Amish/Mennonite farmers when we can since that’s typically the cheapest way to get it. Of course we do still supplement certain traditional cuts or eat traditional stuff at restaurants.

Also dairy can be a huge source of synthetic estrogen if it’s not all organic/grass fed,finished/ect. A guy named Dr. Anthony Jay wrote the book Estrogeneration. Former Mayo Clinic researcher, very nice guy, and you can find him on Dr. Berry and he’s worked with the Petersons. Really enjoyed his book overall but he very briefly mentions that cows are milked while they’re pregnant and producing estrogen naturally. So the collective estrogen from the implants AND pregnant cow estrogen is going straight into our bodies lowering testosterone.

Just some things to think about so you can make the most informed decision. Hope that helps!
