A definate read for those on hormone blockers who could maybe check on levels in beef milk etc v circulating levels if on arimidex or similar to see if ingested hormones are significant in the scheme of things.

From a quick skim cattle are being hormone pelleted for production reasons.

I simply do not have the knowledge to do any more that highlight possibilites which may be relevant or not.

Skimmed milk seems to have much higher estradoil and full milk progesterone.

Meat had some ans offal looked like it might be high.

How does this compare with organic etc?

..............Two outbreaks, one of breast enlargement in
young school children in Italy (45) and another of
precocious sexual development in Puerto Rico (176),
were suggestive of exposure to environmental estro-
genic compounds, possibly zeranol. In the case of
the Italian children, symptoms disappeared entirely
after 8 months and researchers suspected that one
consignment of meat or poultry might have contained
high levels of some estrogenic compound. In the
case of the Puerto Rican children, high levels of
estrogenic compounds were said to be present in
some local chicken and it was reported that
symptoms gradually disappeared after the children
stopped consuming local chicken, beef, and milk.
However, subsequent investigation of the Puerto
Rican outbreak by the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), USDA, and FDA indicated that the outbreak
could have been the result of increased awareness
and reporting of cases by physicians (209).............
