Does skim milk have less hormones tha 1% or 2% milk?
I know that ppl tell you tht milk has a bunch of hormones and nasty crap. Does skim milk have all that stuff too? i know it doesn't have fat though duhh!
Answers:
That's a good question that needs further research.
I have heard that the residuals from hormones and pesticides, and all the other nasty stuff we don't want in our bodies gets stored in fatty tissue. So, I would assume that it may accumulate more readily in fat found in foods.
I do not know, but I am off to find out. I may return with a answer for you.
Here you go, an answer:
"One compared levels of hormones and growth factors in American milk (whole, whole organic, skim milk, and UHT - ultra-high temperature - milk) to milk from Mongolia. Levels were very low in both American skim and in Mongolian milk. "
also "But steps can be taken now to reduce the amount of hormones in milk, said Ganmaa. Because hormones reside in milk fat, drinking skim milk is one option. Getting calcium from green leafy vegetables is another. "
This comes from an article from Harvard scientists, that studies the levels of estrogen in milk. Guys if you don't want to grow breasts maybe you should read this article. And, I heard there was a lot of estrogen in soy milk, lol..
