Unless consuming a high amount of milk, hormone content is said to be irrelevant. It's been suggested a majority of negative effects are due it slowing/blocking bowel transit. Increased water to dilute lactose leaves room for putrefaction and fermentation. I suppose gastric irritation could also result in a stress response, higher serotonin, etc.
I have a theory that adding digestive enzymes and probiotics when consuming grass-fed whole milk would decrease negative effects, as it then more closely resembles raw milk. In addition, milk would be consumed as a meal by itself (ie, after the last meal has digested and 4-5 hours before another).
And normalizing estrogen clearance, something which should be made satisfactory anyway.
