I have not double checked but from what I have read Europe have banned subcutaneous hormone pelleting of cattle so the issue is of a lower level in Europen than the US etc.
The intake of dairy products seem to provide different levels according to product. Progesterone seems to be in cheese and full fat, and 17beta estradoil in low fat milk.
To come to any meaningful conclusion I suppose one would have to know what impact progesterone as well as the 17beta oestradoil might have, type of dairy cosumption, level of absorbtion after digestion.
Interestingly wheat and potatoes have significant levels of progesterone.
I wonder if any health records exist on populations with a high reliance on pastoral products with a history of long term dairy consumption but more traditional animal rearing - Swiss?.
It would be interesting to bet hormone figures of New Zealand / grass fed animals v corn fed.
As usual more questions than answers.
