A new study out of Harvard University shows that pasteurized milk products from factory farms is linked to causing hormone-dependent cancers. It turns out that the concentrated animal feeding operations model of raising cows on factory farms churns out milk with dangerously high levels of estrone sulfate, an estrogen compound linked to testicular, prostate, and breast cancers.

Dr. Ganmaa Davaasambuu, Ph.D., and her colleagues specifically identified "milk from modern dairy farms" as the culprit, referring to large-scale confinement operations where cows are milked 300 days of the year, including while they are pregnant. Compared to raw milk from her native Mongolia, which is extracted only during the first six months after cows have already given birth, pasteurized factory milk was found to contain up to 33 times more estrone sulfate.

It's interesting to note this discovery, but it varies from country to country, doesn't it? Every country has its own rules and regulations. I'm sure that would play a part.

I'm sure there are thousand other scarier things that you eat without knowing. Producers do their best to "hide" these scary things in order to protect their sales.

The part that bugs me the most is milking 300 days of the year. That must be painful.
