Quoting Kris55:“ oh thanks! As long as it's not too harmful to give time to time. I don't think i will all the time. It ... [snip!] ... are phytoestrogens really bad for you? i don't know the specific details about the cow hormones vs. phytoestrogens really.”
You can buy cow's milk that does not contain hormones (look for certified organic stuff).. goat's milk is also very good for you.. I might add that my daughter was also still breastfeeding, so it wasn't a huge concern for us to have her on full fat milk.
Phytoestrogens mimic our own estrogens... it's all a matter of opinion in some cases. I have read studies that show reproductive issues in boys/men.. it causing thyroid issues... I could go on.. I personally don't feel it's good to consume a lot, like anything in life. Moderation is the key.
