"Among the routes of human exposure to estrogens, we are mostly concerned about cow's milk, which contains considerable amounts of female sex hormones," Ganmaa told her audience. Dairy, she added, accounts for 60 percent to 80 percent of estrogens consumed.
Part of the problem seems to be milk from modern dairy farms, where cows are milked about 300 days a year. For much of that time, the cows are pregnant. The later in pregnancy a cow is, the more hormones appear in her milk.
One study compared diet and cancer rates in 42 counties. It showed that milk and cheese consumption are stron

This may be a problem for people who drink factory farmed milk. My family drinks raw organic milk and it is the same for cheese.

I have to be honest I'm not convinced.
Most adult males drink one maybe two glasses of milk a day, many not even that. A bit of cheese here and there, cheese actually might be what a man will eat more of, but I do not see the amount to be enough to be injesting enough female hormones to loose their manliness.
You will have to offer up proof there is a serious corolation between a minimal amount of dairy products and loss of a mans manhood.

Believe me, I feel lucky. It is one of the few good things I can say about living in Ca. we can still buy and sell raw milk.
The added hormones the put in factory farmed milk is scary. You are 100% right about soy as well.

I guarantee that you will get more wholesome, pure milk from a lactating male pumped full of estrogen than you will get from a modern day cow from a dairy farm.
Please, do the tests to prove me wrong, and send the results to FOX news and the others.
I know men who are more feminine than women, and vice versa... but the BPA pumping through the men will lactate far more than the masculine women, and the nutrition will be far more healthier than cows' milk.
You've heard of them before.. they're called the "Milk Men."

Wait, so organic female cows do not contain female hormones? They are still pregnant when milked right? I'm not buying that, perhaps it has less, but certainly not zero! I still don't think drinking the milk of animals is good whether it be organic or not. Would you drink cat milk? Or rat milk? Why cow milk? Cow milk is for cows right?

Your raw milk has the same hormones as regular milk. Farmers are not adding the hormones, it's because the cows are pregnant.
There is no connection between milk and gayness, how ridiculous. I drink copious amounts of milk and I can assure you I'm a regular hot-blooded male. I work out, box (and beat people half my age in da gym), have black belts in multiple martial arts, married, with 3 kids and could kick most people's ass to the curb quite easily. And I feel like I want to all the time, lol.
Metrosexuality is a societal thing. It's the result of upbringing, media, community, how sexuality is perceived in society.
Not milk, trolololol.
