Cows milk makes you grow - maybe not in places you want...

This study out of Japan was printed in the Internation Journal of Cancer. It showed that rats given commercial cows milk caused the uterus of rats to grow. Not as much as if they were fed estrogen, but there were estrogenic effects.

The Ruters article said "Dr. Sato concludes that milk and dairy product consumption should be kept to a minimum. These products "contain sex steroid hormones, which promote the development of hormone-dependent cancers (prostate cancer in men, and breast and ovarian cancers in women)." Dr. Sato also does not recommend milk for prepubertal children."

Yipes! Better think twice. See the arguement for asking your local starbusks to not use RGBH milk just got a lot stronger...
