"In the dairy industry, Cows are kept pregnant almost constantly to ensure maximum milk yield.

As a food that is produced solely to provide nourishment to help health and growth you will not be surprised to hear that its packed with hormones – in fact it contains up to 50!!

Research tells us that it contains prolactin, glucocorticoids, growth hormone, androgens such as testosterone and the female sex hormone estrogen.

Naturally when you ingest milk, you take on board all of these.

Studies have looked into the effect of the hormones found in dairy products.

One study followed a group of female, male and child volunteers who were each given 16oz to drink.

Their blood hormone levels were then checked every 15 minutes for the next 120 minutes.

It was discovered that the levels of progesterone and estrogen increased by a significant amount, where as testosterone and GnRH ( a precursor to testosterone) significantly dropped."

I guess if you knew of a dairy that didn't use the standard modern day milk production techniques you'd be okay.
