Has Ray Peat addressed the estrogen content in Milk? Not just from hormone treated cows, but the common practice of milking very pregnant cows and the estrogens that end up in the milk?
" Part of the problem seems to be milk from modern dairy farms, where cows are milked about 300 days a year. For much of that time, the cows are pregnant. The later in pregnancy a cow is, the more hormones appear in her milk.
Milk from a cow in the late stage of pregnancy contains up to 33 times as much of a signature estrogen compound (estrone sulfate) than milk from a non-pregnant cow. "

I am so interested in Peat's way of eating and treating estrogen dominance issues but I cant tolerate dairy at all. I immediately get PMS symptoms (regardless of what time of month it is) if I drink milk. Even the raw grass fed organic milk that I have access too. Im fairly sure its because most if not all dairies milk pregnant cows now days.
thanks!
