I agree. It isn't that the milk itself is full of hormones naturally but rather the feeds and such that the cows ingest are treated with hormones and such. During digestion the hormones are passed through to the milk.

Source?? Not some looney bin left-wing web site either.

I have NEVER seen the mills add anything when grinding feed. And dairy cows are treated like GOLD.

Are you a farmer??

Nah, I am not a farmer but really you should be more informed as to what goes into the foods you buy.

For example, bovine somatotropin ( growth hormone ) is given to dairy cattle to increase milk production. This hormone occurs naturally but is also given in a synthetic version as well. With the increased amount of BTS there is an increased risk of mastitis in the cattle. With this infection comes the treatments of antibiotics. Hmmm, could that be passed thru the milk?? Sure can and is.

Cattle are also given synthetic estrogens and progesterones to speed up maturity. Could this be passed on as well?? Sure can and is.

You don't have to be a leftist to conclude that when animals raised for human consumption are given these products that inevitably these same products are passed on to us through the meats and dairy products.

As for you never seeing these things added to the feed, you won't. It is injected.
