Do dairy farmers, unlike yourself, understand that cow hormones will only bind with cow hormone receptors and not human hormone receptors? If so, they know a lot more than you and won't buy into the idiocy of milk causing early onset puberty.
They seem to have their hands full with people who don’t share your opinion.
You're surprised that they have idiots in China too? I'll bet their idiots don't know the difference between an opinion and a fact either.
“You’re surprised that they have idiots in China too? I’ll bet their idiots don’t know the difference between an opinion and a fact either.”
I wouldn’t call you an idiot; just quite arrogant. The people in China would be idiots if they didn’t believe their own eyes; but of course they do.
My local conventional supermarket doesn’t sell much organic food. There’s not much demand for it ... except for milk. They sell four different brands of organic milk, and it now takes up almost as much shelf space as cheaper conventional milk.
While the hormones in conventional milk may be chemically identical to those in organic milk, conventional dairy farmers may give large amounts of those synthetic hormones to their cows to induce continuous milk production. Some say all those hormones are inactivated by pasteurization, but ... people tend to believe their own eyes.
“Facts” in medicine are very difficult to establish. So the average intelligent person pays attention to their own observations and forms opinions which are correct more often than not. I don’t need a double-blinded placebo controlled medical study to convince me that coenzyme q10 supplementation is beneficial for cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure, because I have seen with my own eyes people brought back from the brink of death; people given days to live by their board-certified cardiologist who lived for years. I have a somewhat less certain opinion that something in conventional milk causes premature puberty. And judging by the organic milk sales at my local supermarket, and the news story from China, I’m probably not the only one that holds that “unscientific” opinion.
And you will remain quite certain of the “science” that says that it is just not possible ... until some new science is finally discovered!
