I don't drink milk and use soy instead. I never liked milk that much
and soy is at least as good.

But I still eat dairy products such as pizza, cheese, and whey protein
shakes. Do they have any less antibiotics or hormones than milk?

after having drunk cows milk and dairy products all my life i have just been
shocked by reading a book a friend gave me called 'the china study' by
colin.t.campbell.
when you read the science behind drinking cows milk it's rather scary.

has anyone else read this book? i would be very interested to know what they
made of it, especially regarding meat.

According to :
Besides that, with hormone treatment the calf isn`t actually
neccesary anymore.

Now that's an interesting point. Do we* prefer milk where a calf
has probably been killed to produce it, or do we prefer milk from
a cow that has been pumped full of hormones. Decisions, decisions.

It is not pumped full of hormones, it`s about the same amount of hormones
they
would also have if they got pregnant.
So either way they would be pumping hormones.

I suppose, but are the 'artificially introduced' ones taken from
pregnant cows, or are they synthesised?

I think synthesised, but I am not sure.

I use organic 1 % lowfat milk. I have compared the fat and nutrients of
the
soy milk and this milk. The only thing I see that the soy milk has that
the
real milk doesn't is some B vitamins which i get with my supplements.

Question: Why should anyone use soy milk rather than real milk if they are
not opposed to dairy?

Thanks

Sorry if someone already said this but I use soy because of elements of
natural estrogen contained in soy. My OBGYN says it's a good thing to have
in anticipation of menopause and such. I don't have studies to back it up
but that is what my doctor told me. cheers
