Does Organic Milk have less hormones than regular milk?!
Does Organic Milk have less hormones than regular milk?
Yesterday someone asked a similar question, some of the answers suggested organic milk. I found this article that was very interesting and I figured some of you vegetarians, and even vegans would find it interesting. Anyone who wishes to avoid large quantities of estrogen may want to read it also. (And all we read about is the high levels of estrogen in soy milk)
Let me know what you think of it. Does it change your opinion of milk?

Smtrautman, you didn't read the article.
Hormones occur naturally, and are elevated during pregnancy. Milk cows are kept pregnant(in America) for roughly 9 months out of the year (organic or not). So, read the article.

Answers:
I am SO afraid of cow's milk. I shudder when I read articles like that - poor cows being milked 300 days/year and constantly pregnant! Yikes. I wonder why people don't realize that when they mess with nature, it is a domino effect and everything that they do has an end result that is most likely unpleasant. Guess who's on the receiving end of the unpleasantries? We are!
That's why I drink rice milk.
Thanks for the info, Toph.
