Skim milk is fat free and has added protein and calcium. Whole milk is usally normal but depending on the brand either milks could have hormones or not.
There is a difference in the milk-the fat content. Whole milk is about 3 % fat and skim milk has none. Because there is no fat in skim milk, the nutrition level is higher. About the hormones-drink organic and then there will be no hormones in the milk and your body will thank you. Organic milk is more easily digested than the commercial milk.
I have included a web site that explains the negative impact these hormones have on people (pretty nasty):

Horomones? Hahahahahaahah! Allot? Is this also a new word?
There are four usual fat-levels of milk usually sold these days:
0% fat (Fat Free, or skim--though that term is seldom used these days)
1% fat (LowFat)
2% (Reduced Fat)
4% ("Whole" milk)
(Cream and sour cream, etc., have more fat than milks.)
The lower the amount of fat in a milk, the more room there would be in the milk for the proteins --and hormones if there were any-- but not a lot more.
Not that many milk manufacturers still use rBST in their milk. If you want to avoid it, use a milk that's organic" or one that says rBST-Free on the labeling, or buy milk from one of the stores/brands below:
"..The top 3 grocery retailers in the nation, Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Costco have pledged not to sell such milk in their stores.
...The nation's largest dairy processor, Dean Foods, no longer sells milk from rBST-treated cows....
Specific examples include:
...Kroger has banned rBST-derived milk from all its stores (including its subsidiaries such as Ralphs) as of February 2008.
...Safeway in the northwestern United States stopped buying from dairy farmers that use rBST in January 2007.[2] The two Safeway plants produce milk for all of Oregon, Southwest Washington, and parts of northern California. Safeway's plant in San Leandro, CA had already been rBST-free for two years.
...Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores featured artificial-hormone-free "Great Value" brand milk, but did not label it as such in 2008.
...Publix announced it has been rBST-free since May, 2007.
...Braum's has also issued a press release stating its milk is rBST-free.
...Winder Farms, a home delivery dairy and grocer in Utah and Nevada, sells rBST-free milk.
...Starbucks Company has as of January 2008 made all dairy in beverages rBST free.
...Chipotle Mexican Grill has also announced it will serve rBST-free sour cream at its restaurants.
...Ben & Jerry's ice cream uses milk and cream from dairy farms that have pledged not to use rBST."
P.S. For the "man-boobs" you may be seeing stuff about soy milk, or just that American males are fatter than in other countries in general.
