“Dairy cheese contains reproductive hormones that may increase breast cancer mortality risk", U.S. Physicians Comittee for Responsible Medicine is petitioning the FDA to put warning on dairy products. Not to mention, the industry has suffered major financial loss in the past decade as people awaken.
People who've decided to drink soy milk instead get called soy boys. The mainstream rhetoric is that soy will give men breasts. Yes, soy contains phytoestrogens, but these plant hormones are estrogen receptor modulators, so they don't just raise estrogen levels, they regulate them. Boys who drink soy won't grow breasts, but men who drink milk are at increased risk of prostate cancer.
This hormonal regulation is why soy does not make males grow breasts", yet it can treat menopausal breast cancer. This homeostasis also contributes to the prevention of cancer in general and cardiovascular disease.
Except for one phytoestrogen found in soy and beans called Formononetin, soy does NOT cause breast cancer; soy TREATS breast cancer and other hormone-sensitive cancers like prostate cancer.
Although recent studies have found a negative association between dairy and breast cancer risk, past research has found the higher the fat content, the greater the breast cancer risk. Humans can also get leukemia via Bovine Leukemia Virus from milk and beef.
Animal agriculture, especially beef and dairy, is one of the worst things we can do for our health and for the environment. Yet people are still consuming dairy en mass, in almost every product of every meal. 99% of infant formulas are milk based, even though they can be made from plants like peas, soy, and coconut. Why are adults eating cow's milk and feeding it to their children instead of breast milk? The first person to use the word peace in a sentence in the comments will receive a Peace Token.
Have you ever wondered what a baby cow eats, if you and your baby are eating its milk? It's not the fairy tale you've been told as a child.
